It's no secret that Texas has been targeting offensive linemen in the transfer portal, recently signing Oregon State OG Dylan Sikorski for 2026 and beyond. Though they've been focusing on the interior offensive line, there's always been a chance that they want to upgrade at OT, especially on the right side.
Now, Colorado's Jordan Seaton, one of the best offensive tackles in college football just entered the portal making things interesting for Steve Sarkisian and Co. over the next few days.

Seaton is the top player in the transfer portal, and will command a HEFTY offer NIL-wise. 💰

It initially looks like the Longhorns and Oregon are leading the pack in terms of overall interest, and Texas undoubtedly has the money to offer Seaton a lucrative NIL deal.
The only question is, would he be willing to play right tackle in Austin? Trevor Goosby is not only one of the top blindside protectors in the game, but he's also very adamant about staying at left tackle. The best case scenario for the Longhorns would be to get Seaton committed and okay with playing right tackle, then kicking Brandon Baker inside to right guard.
A starting offensive line heading into 2026 consisting of the below lineup would be a dream for the coaching staff:
LT - Trevor Goosby
LG - Dylan Sikorski
C - Connor Robertson
RG - Brandon Baker
RT - Jordan Seaton
Not only would this be an immediate upgrade from 2025 in terms of personnel, but it would give Texas one of the top offensive tackle duos in the nation next season.
As mentioned earlier, there's no doubt that Texas has the money to lure Seaton to Austin, but the question is whether or not he's willing to switch sides and showcase his skills as a right tackle. There's a chance that his best NFL outlook involves playing right tackle full-time so maybe the move would actually help is prospects heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.
