Expert Analysis
Cooper Morreale | Prep Redzone Scout
Octavius Staton Jr (OJ) is a talented WR from Central we think has a big season ahead next fall.
“At 6’0 170, Staton already has the size and speed to dominate out wide. He’s quick on his feet, runs great routes, and can attack multiple levels of the field. On top of that, he has a great set of hands and consistently makes impressive catches through coverage and contact.
It really shows up in the red zone- he’s terrific in contested situations and frequently high points the ball over the tops of defenders for some highlight reel grabs. I’m equally impressed with how quickly Staton generates separation at his size. He has some nasty releases and routes he can burn DBs and get wide open off of. I think he’s in for a big junior season this fall.“
Staton has been on our list since his freshman season, but I think we’re going to see a whole different version of him this fall. He’s had a bunch of shining moments through his first two years, but should be stepping into an increased workload this upcoming fall, and with his skills, he’s going to be hard to miss. I’m excited to see, but until then, watch some of his film below:
