Ole Miss an early favorite to land hottest transfer portal OT every school wants

The Jordan Seaton saga is on.

The Colorado Buffaloes left tackle Jordan Seaton announced his decision to enter the transfer portal January 13, and has poured gasoline into the already fired up transfer portal.

"I never imagined this journey would come to a close in this way, but I am deeply grateful for every moment that led me here," Seaton wrote in an Instagram post announcing his decision.

Ever since, all top programs have started pulling out every trick up their sleeve to land the hottest OT on the market.

Top programs like Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, LSU, and National Championship contenders Miami are among the early favorties.

Besides these, Ole Miss is also on the early favorite to land the Colorado OT as a school with one of the hottest transfer portal starts this cycle.

The former five-star recruit is expected to command one of the top NIL packages of the 2025 Portal cycle, with sources speculating he could approach the $2M range.

That, plus him making massive plays to whichever school he goes to will make him an instant star there.

"The 6'5", 330lb OT earned All Big 12 Second Team honors in 2025, allowing just 1 sack & 5 pressures while starting 9 games before missing the final 3 due to injury."

"He's a former 5 Star Plus Recruit, the No. 1 OT in the 2024 Class, & is currently ranked as the No. 1 OT and No. 5 overall player in the Transfer Portal per On3 Industry Rankings."

While it is still early to be reading the tea leaves, the transfer portal is a high-speed chase. You blink, and Seaton would be ready with his announcement.

The transfer portal window closes on Jan. 16, so it won't be long anyways before one of these programs hand out its jersey to Seaton.
