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.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos out of Saturday's lineup vs. Yankees with left knee injury
Both the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees will be without their regular right fielders for Saturday's matchup at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge is out of the Yankees' lineup with a right elbow injury that's made it difficult for him to throw from the outfield. The team is currently waiting for imaging results. And while it doesn't appear to be as potentially serious, Nick Castellanos will sit out Saturday's game due to a left knee injury suffered in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees. Castellanos jammed his left knee while running toward the right field wall to make the final out, according to Phillies manager Rob Thomson. The Phillies' right fielder batted 2-for-5 in the Phillies' win and is hitting .270/.311/.434 with 23 doubles, 13 home runs and 56 RBI. He's third among Philadelphia's regulars in homers and second in RBI.

Match Tactical: Manchester United vs West Ham United
Manchester United are set to kick off their Premier League Summer Series tour to the US when they take on West Ham United. Coming off an understated goalless draw with Leeds United, Ruben Amorim's men will surely look to be more effective in front of goal as they look to bring cheer to their American fanbase. While Amorim will almost certainly look to rotate his squad with a flood of half-time substitutions, there are some common tactical decisions that the Man United manager should consider taking if he hopes to get the better of the Hammers in New Jersey. Learning from past mistakes During the Leeds game, we saw United take a barrage of shots, yet with little accuracy. Out of their 18 attempts on goal, only four reached their target, while two unluckily hit the woodwork. (Sky Sports) What's particularly alarming about this statistic is that the vast majority of United's chances came from the centre of the box, where players were facing the goal head-on, albeit at varying distances from the goal. A minority of chances, namely five, were taken from tight angles outside of the goalposts' jurisdiction. One could only hope that Amorim spotted this lack of shooting accuracy and has worked on it with his players during training. After all, it's incredibly wasteful for his players to complete all of the necessary work to create 19 chances, only to fall at the final hurdle each and every time. Although it may be important to reflect on the previous match, some bad habits from last season persist. Speed things up If one looks at the attacking momentum chart from the Leeds' draw, we see how United continued a long-standing frustrating habit from last season. With the exception of the final minutes of the second half, United's attacking intensity was underwhelming, with the team very seldom bursting forward at a quick pace to knock Leeds' defence off balance. By exhibiting a slow build-up, they gave the opposition sufficient time to drop back and defend in comfort, squandering their chance to secure what should have been a straightforward win. While Amorim's starting lineup remains to be seen, it would be good for him to leverage the pace of his quickest attackers. These could be long-standing players such as Amad Diallo or new talents such as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Whoever ends up playing, Amorim should make the most of the fast legs at his disposal. For United, this pre-season marks a moment of rebuild, with fans hoping that their club can bounce back from what was a lacklustre debut campaign under Amorim, to say the least. In addition to being achievable, a victory over West Ham would go a long way to restoring the confidence of an anxious fanbase that certainly deserves more to cheer about than what they've been receiving in recent times.
