Seaton: Physical Runner Looking to Break Out at Riverdale Baptist

Seaton runs with a punishing, aggressive style, initiating contact and powering through defenders with authority. But he’s far from one-dimensional; he also has the footwork and shiftiness to find narrow cutback lanes and make defenders miss in the open field.

After posting back-to-back standout seasons at Blake High School, Seaton is set to make a major impact following his transfer to Riverdale Baptist. With a challenging schedule on tap, the stage is set for him to prove why he’s considered one of the top athletes in the state.

Look for Seaton to rise to the occasion and solidify himself as a breakout player in the 2025 season.

Seaton has maintained his speed and elusiveness but added a new physicality to his game making him a well-rounded back that can run past, around, or through defenders.
