Keeler: CU Buffs tackle Jordan Seaton won’t back down from Nebraska, CSU, or expectations. “This is a brotherhood. Brothers fight.”
BOULDER — I mean, sure, you could start a fight with Jordan Seaton. I’m just not sure you’d finish it.
Not in one piece, at any rate.
“Are the older guys … cool with you?” I asked the best lineman to sign with the Buffs out of high school since Jake Moretti as we kibitzed outside the Champions Center on Monday.
“Yes,” Seaton, CU’s five-star true freshman tackle replied.
“So no hazing?”
He raised an eyebrow.
“Hazing?”
He raised another.
“Like rookies carrying veterans’ pads at camp, stuff like that,” I replied. “It happens everywhere. You’ll find out at the next level. It’s what they do with rookies.”
Rookies! The light went on.
“Oh, like in The League,” Seaton said, referring to the National Football League.
“Yeah, in The League.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” he continued, catching the drift and running to daylight.
“We don’t really have that. For me, freshman initiation is just — listening, you know? Just listening to the guys in front of me. They don’t really do the hazing. Or the fighting. No, we don’t do that. This is a brotherhood. Brothers fight. But not to the point where it’s like we don’t like each other.”
Seaton’s easy to like, stellar resume notwithstanding. His arrival gives quarterback Shedeur Sanders a wingman with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, which doesn’t hurt. No. 77 is 6-5, 285 pounds of mess-around-and-find-out, a lineman who ran pass routes at the Under Armour Next All-American Game and reportedly registered a closing speed of 17.7 miles per hour on GPS during another tilt. (Context: The fastest wideouts in the NFL usually max out at roughly 20-21 mph.)
“I feel like the O-line last year (at CU) lacked passion. And right now we’ve got a lot of it,” Seaton continued. “We’ve got a lot of dudes. We’re just going at it … One dude might have a bad day today, next day, it’s ‘Oh, I’m getting back at that guy.’ So I feel like passion is what this offense and defense has the most, and integrity, like, within themselves.”
Like his head coach, Seaton fears neither man nor microphone, regardless of how hot they happen to be at that given moment. The teen from D.C. calls it like he sees it. Even if some truths land harder than others.
“I actually thought this place was going to be really, really bad,” the Buffs’ star blocker said of Boulder, and his first impressions therein.
“This is my opinion. Everybody has their own opinion. But I took a risk. And then me coming in and having Coach Prime and everything he told me that he was going to do, he did.”
While CU sports staffers around us chuckled awkwardly and clutched imaginary pearls, we had to ask the big man to backpedal on that one.
“Bad?” I asked, raising an eyebrow of my own this time. “Define ‘Bad.’”
“Nothing really too crazy,” Seaton continued. “Just as far as ‘bad’ — you don’t know how much money we’re bringing in here. So you go to other universities — the Big Tens, the SECs, they’ve got $10 billion contracts, all (that) crazy stuff.
“So … I thought I was taking a risk. But then coming in here, it exceeded expectations. We actually have a great facility. We actually spend a lot of money on food, as you can see, which I was talking about (earlier). And everything’s exceeded expectations, from the littlest things to the biggest things for me.”
The biggest thing for Seaton this fall? Keeping Shedeur happy and healthy. Accent on the latter.
“His football knowledge, being a freshman, coming in (as) a guy straight out of high school, his knowledge is up there,” new offensive line coach Phil Loadholt said of Seaton earlier this year. “He’s a student of the game. He works hard. He comes up and watches film and does everything he’s supposed to do. So that’s been the most impressive part of him.
“Obviously, physically you can see that he’s advanced, you know what I mean? But his mental part has been impressive to me.”
Seaton is the thinking man’s hammer. Already lean, the freshman has spent roughly two months on a diet of fish in an effort to replace body fat with muscle. Hand him a syllabus, he’ll stick to the plan. It’s no coincidence that coachable stars make a habit of shining the longest. And brightest.
“Not too many people want to go to the … I call (CU) an ‘underdog school,’ you know?” Seaton stressed. “A lot of people want to go to a school that’s built — a school like Georgia (or) Bama where it’s, like, you’re (the) next guy up.
“But here … you never had (any) 5-star offensive linemen come here. You don’t have a Travis Hunter coming here every time. You don’t have a Shedeur Sanders that could be (here) every time. So it (was) a risk in that area. Not like it’s going to be bad or it’s going to be a terrible place to live in … just a risk as far as there’s nobody else to do it. So now it’s, like, ‘You can really be the first.’”
And if Seaton plows dudes from the jump?
The kid might not be the last.

Packers monitoring their backfield entering key game in Denver
True to form, Jacobs pushed to practice but said team doctors told him to chill and be smart about it. The goal is to reduce the inflammation as much as possible to increase his chances of playing.
In his pre-practice news conference on Thursday, Head Coach Matt LaFleur praised Jacobs for “doing everything in his power to get ready to go.” From his perspective, Jacobs said he feels more relief than frustration.
“I’ve been in this league a long time, and it’s not too much that really gets me discouraged or anything like that,” Jacobs said.
“We still know what’s ahead of us. Now, if we were having this going into the playoffs, it would be a little weird, but at that point I wouldn’t care because it’s either do or don’t. But for me, I know my body, there’s nothing structurally wrong, so I don’t feel like it’s something I have to overly think about.”
If Jacobs can’t go Sunday, Wilson would be in line to make his second NFL start against the team with whom he broke into the league back in 2023.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of NCAA Division II Fort Valley State (Ga.), Wilson spent just three days with the Broncos before he was released. Ten days later, he signed with the Packers and later made the team’s 53-man roster.
The 5-foot-10, 226-pound Wilson has since rushed for 938 yards and seven touchdowns on 205 carries (4.6 yards per carry) in 37 games, highlighted by a gratifying career day against Minnesota a few weeks ago.
“I still got that mentality to go out there and do it again,” Wilson said. “If (Jacobs) is going, he’s going. If I get my opportunity once again, I’m going to take advantage of it.”
Whoever starts against Denver understands the challenge its defense presents. In addition to the Broncos pacing the NFL with 55 sacks, they also boast a No. 2-ranked run defense that’s allowing just 89.0 yards per game.
Denver hasn’t allowed a running back to gain more than 100 yards since Jonathan Taylor’s 165-yard effort powered Indianapolis to a 29-28 victory in Week 2.
As much as Jacobs enjoys practicing, he doesn’t feel it’s a requirement in order for him to play in Denver. It all comes down to how his body is feeling and whether the team doctors give him the green light on Sunday afternoon.
“I always plan to play,” Jacobs said. “They gotta kinda tell me I can’t play for me not to play. For me, that’s where my head is at, but I’m also realistically just day-to-day right now.”

- Be respectful in your interactions with contributors and fellow fans.
- Don’t be a jerk, and don’t call other people jerks.
- We’ll remove anything we see that jeopardizes our communities.
- We ask that you do your best to keep the conversation to sports and primarily our favorite NBA team. Why? Because there are plenty of other sites where you can air your opinions about everything from politics to soup recipes.
- You can help with that. If you see something that doesn’t align with our guidelines, let us know. Flag any comments or usernames that violate our guidelines so our community managers can review them.
These rules extend to our communities everywhere: in our comments, on social media, and in real life.
We do not allow any of the following:
- Personal attacks: This includes name-calling, insults, threats, hurtful comments about someone’s appearance, voice, or style, and all other forms of attacks. We want our communities to be welcoming and fun. Personal attacks are the opposite of that.
- Attacks on staffers: It’s fine to critique a post, disagree with a take, or point out errors. We draw the line, however, at personal attacks (see above) about writers, editors, moderators, etc.
- Discriminatory or derogatory language: This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of discrimination.
- Harassment: This includes, but is not limited to, intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention.
- Wishing harm on athletes: Don’t root for an injury, don’t root for harm to befall a coach or athlete. You can want someone to get fired or released, but please do not hope for bodily harm.
- Misinformation and disinformation: Sharing demonstrably false information about news or world events, beyond the scope of reasonable sports opinion or analysis, can be harmful to our communities. These comments will be removed and may result in a suspension or a ban.
- Illegal activity: Don’t promote, encourage, or make light of any kind of illegal activity, including DUIs, domestic violence, or sexual assault.
- NSFW images and comments: Keep it PG-13, or you will be removed. This includes language and images that are sexual, violent, or generally offensive in nature.
- Excessive profanity: Fans get worked up on game days, and we’re fans, too. We understand that. As a general rule, keep profanity to a minimum. Some communities prohibit profanity, so be sure to review guidelines for the individual communities you participate in.
- Multiple accounts and throwaway emails: These are a signal that you’re not interested in being a productive member of our communities, and we do not allow it.
- Trolling: We know it when we see it, and we’ll remove it. Don’t go to a rival team’s community for the sole purpose of riling up their fans, either. Moreover, you should never publish any private or personally identifiable information. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
- The “first post” rule: If you break any of these guidelines with your very first post or interaction, it signals to our community managers you’re just here to be disruptive. Violators may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Spam: We have a zero-tolerance policy on spam, which includes sharing links to illegal game streams or downloads. Spam will be deleted and spammers may be banned, blocked, or removed.
- Political commentary: Denver Stiffs is a site dedicated to the Denver Nuggets, not politics. There are many sites available on the internet to discuss politics, Denver Stiffs is not one of them. Please refrain from any political commentary while using our site.
Anyone who doesn’t follow these rules when engaging in our communities will at best be removed from the conversation, and at worst will end up banned from that community. These decisions will be made at the discretion of our community managers and other Mile High Sports personnel. Community managers and moderators have final say on interpretation of violating our community guidelines, and on all decisions resulting in a warning, suspension, and/or ban.
If you see any of these things happening in our communities, please flag it and it will be reviewed. You can also reach out via our contact page.
