One of the Tennessee Vols' top targets in the 2024 recruiting class was named this week by 247Sports as one of the true freshmen that's generating the most hype this offseason.

Former five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton, who signed with Colorado over Tennessee (and several others), is living up to the hype so far in Boulder.

From 247Sports : Given Colorado's revamp in the trenches, there were several starting spots up for grabs and five-star Jordan Seaton looks to have earned the nod at left tackle. He was the first-team choice to protect Shedeur Sanders' blindside in the Buffaloes' spring game and passed his initial test with flying colors.

The Vols may not have landed Seaton during the recruiting process (though Tennessee was definitely strongly in the mix), but he could still end up eventually playing on Rocky Top.

With uncertainty about Deion Sanders' future at Colorado beyond the 2024 season swirling -- Coach Prime probably needs to win more than four games this fall -- it's certainly possible that Seaton doesn't finish his college career in Boulder. (It's hard to see Seaton sticking around at Colorado if Sanders isn't there).

And if that ends up being the case, then Tennessee could be one of the top options for Seaton in the event he enters the transfer portal.

We're obviously getting ahead of ourselves a bit here, but Seaton is still a player that could eventually be on the move that's worth monitoring if you're a Vols fan.
