Seldon Jr. is highly competitive and does not back down from challenging bigger receivers at the line. He has a confidence level that will make him successful on the field. He is a playmaker in every sense of the word with excellent intangibles and feel for the game. He has good ball skills and hands. His footwork tight with very little wasted motion and that helps him change direction is at a high level. His fast-twitch ability gives him excellent make-up speed and closing speed. When all that is combined with his instincts and technique he can jump a lot of routes and make a play on the ball.

“I was a lifelong fan of the crimson aggies from Las Cruces before I even knew aggie blue existed. The joy this man single-handedly brought to generations of discouraged NMSU football fans including myself, my friends, and my family was immeasurable. Heartbroken.”
