Jordan Seaton, nation's No. 1 offensive tackle, visiting Tennessee, cancels Oklahoma trip: Report

IMG Academy (Florida) five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton will be in Knoxville this weekend

The Tennessee Volunteers are hosting a massive visitor this weekend.

That's obviously good news for Knoxville, but not so much for the Oklahoma Sooners, who were planning to host the same recruit before he changed plans.

First reported by On3, IMG Academy (Florida) five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle, confirmed the report on social media.

"The only type of orange I like," he posted, quote tweeting the report.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive tackle is the nation's No. 7 overall prospect and is down to a final 14 - Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M and USC. 

Seaton has set official visits to Florida (October 6) and South Carolina (November 18), and is planning to take a return visit to Knoxville officially later this fall. 

Still, several other programs are believed to be firmly in the mix, including Alabama, Ohio State and others.

For now, however, Tennessee has to feel good about its progress, flipping - not a commitment - but a visit date for this weekend.
