Signing with Indianapolis to play his college ball, Staten was the best two-way lineman from the D2-Class A level for the 2024 season that put forth good work from both sides of the ball that made him a problem for the opposition. The overall defensive stats may not be there like his junior year but Staten was still quite disruptive with 58 tackles, 14.5 for loss, 2 forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks. His performance from the Eagles offensive line is a big reason for this honor as he became the linchpin up front that helped keep Kelley clean and pave the way for his running backs.
