Colorado's Jordan Seaton Turning Heads with Stunning Transformation
At 360 pounds, Jordan Seaton arrived in Boulder as a mountain of a man, raw, powerful, and full of promise. Now, just a year later, he's something entirely different: refined, explosive, and arguably the most physically prepared lineman in Deion Sanders' revamped Colorado Buffaloes locker room.

The transformation isn't just noticeable, it's undeniable.
After shedding over 50 pounds under the watchful eye of strength and conditioning coach Andreu Swasey, Seaton now checks in at 305 pounds. He's leaner. He's faster. And as recent footage from Thee Pregame Show revealed, he's already in game shape, in June.
'You got to be able to do things that a person your size can't do,' Seaton said in the footage. 'You've got to do the little things better.'
And he's doing just that.
Blowing Past Defensive Ends in Sprints
In a workout session captured earlier this month, Seaton didn't just complete three consecutive 200-yard sprints, he won them. That's not a typo. At over 300 pounds, Seaton outran lighter defensive ends in back-to-back-to-back long sprints, stunning observers and even his coaches.

The visual was jarring: the former five-star lineman, once considered too heavy to keep up, now leading from the front. Literally.
A Vocal Leader Filling the Void
With several veterans departing after the 2024 season, the Buffaloes' locker room needed a new voice. Seaton has stepped up. Whether it's breaking down huddles or pushing teammates in drills, he's emerged as a cornerstone of the team's culture shift.
'Expectation starts within yourself,' Seaton said of a preseason meeting with Swasey. 'We set an expectation that we want to be number one.'
That self-belief is contagious, and visible. Coaches say Seaton has become the type of player who raises the bar for everyone around him.

Stronger, Smarter, Sharper
Don't let the weight loss fool you, Seaton hasn't sacrificed power for speed. He's not just leaner physically, he's sharper mentally, more intentional with every rep.

And with Colorado's offensive line under heavy scrutiny following a revolving door at the other spots on the line, Seaton's offseason grind isn't just admirable. It's essential.
Jordan Seaton isn't just ready, he's next. A sophomore with a senior's mindset, Seaton is now a foundational figure in Coach Prime's blueprint. His transformation is already rewriting narratives in Boulder.
And if his words are any indication, he's not done.
'I don't want to lose to nobody, but I also want to run my own race.'
Colorado fans, keep your eyes on No. 77. The big man is just getting started.

Orioles closer Félix Bautista placed on injured list with right shoulder discomfort
CLEVELAND — Baltimore Orioles closer Félix Bautista, who is tied for sixth in the American League with 19 saves, was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder discomfort. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said the right-hander felt uncomfortable while stretching in the bullpen Wednesday during a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Bautista will undergo an MRI when the Orioles return home Friday. 'The (dugout) phone rang in the seventh inning last night and I thought, 'That is not good,'' Mansolino said. 'Then I heard it get slammed down and knew it wasn't good. 'Félix had started his process of getting loose and that's when it flared up.' Bautista did not pitch in the first three games of the series in Cleveland, last seeing action on Sunday at Tampa Bay when he earned his 19th save in 20 opportunities. He missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 30-year-old Dominican has a 1-1 record and 2.60 ERA in 35 appearances, limiting opponents to a .134 batting average over 34 2/3 innings. Bautista has struck out 50 and walked 23. 'We just have to hope it's not too serious,' Mansolino said. The Orioles will use a closer-by-committee in the short term with righty setup men Seranthony Domínguez and Yennier Cano at the front of the line. 'We're going to have to bump up their roles,' Mansolino said. 'We'll figure it out.' Bautista will not enter free agency until 2028, but is eligible for arbitration following this season. The 6-foot-8, 285-pounder is in the final year of a two-year, $2 million contract. With the Orioles out of wild-card contention, they are expected to be active sellers before the July 31 trade deadline. ___ AP MLB:

Commanders news and observations: Incoming vets begin forming connections
During the Commanders' first practice, Dan Quinn focused on their raft of veteran additions: Eddie Goldman, Von Miller, Deebo Samuel, Laremy Tunsil, Deatrich Wise Jr., etc. He was not so much evaluating their play as their demeanor. 'I wanted to see their connection with their teammates,' Quinn said. That's good insight into a significant theme of this training camp: How can the Commanders' new players blend with a tight-knit team?
