The cherry on top of LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s first NCAA Transfer Portal class is expected to arrive on Sunday.
And he is a very big cherry. Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton (6-foot-5, 330 pounds) could be more than a final flourish. He would be the pie`ce de re’sistance – the showpiece – of the Kiffin Collection Part I that grew to 38 commitments and/or signees on Saturday with the addition of unranked running back Stacy Gage of Central Florida.

Seaton would be Kiffin’s second No. 1 position player in the portal next to prized quarterback Sam Leavitt, who is also the No. 1 overall player in the portal from Arizona State. Seaton is the No. 4 overall prospect in the portal and could make Leavitt that much better at LSU via protection.
And quarterback and offensive tackle were the biggest needs facing Kiffin when he left the Ole Miss head coaching job after the 2025 regular season and was introduced as LSU’s new coach on Dec. 1.
Don’t fret LSU fans, if the Tigers go flat in Texas tonight, the greatest LSU football hire in history is just getting started. COLUMN:https://t.co/w5UYv0PlqT

Seaton, fresh off visits to Mississippi State and Miami, could keep Leavitt clean. He allowed only one sack last season and zero quarterback hits through nine starts and 541 snaps at Colorado before a foot injury ended his sophomore season. In 2024, he started 13 games – a true freshman record at Colorado – and allowed three sacks out of 809 snaps.
He is expected to see Kiffin Sunday.
Seaton was reportedly expected at LSU on Thursday, but did not show. He would bring Kiffin’s first class to a whopping 39.
