BYU Basketball Lands Commitment From 7-Foot Center Xavion Staton

A New Giant in Provo

BYU basketball has added a significant piece to its future with the commitment of 7-foot center Xavion Staton. The 5-star recruit from Wasatch Academy in Utah is ranked as the No. 11 center in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports.

Staton's Strengths and Impact

Staton is an imposing figure on the court with his size and athleticism. He possesses a soft touch around the rim, excellent court vision, and the ability to protect the paint with his long wingspan.

BYU head coach Mark Pope is excited about the potential Staton brings to the program. "Xavion is a special talent who fits perfectly into our system," Pope said. "He has a high basketball IQ, great hands, and an impressive skill set for his size. We believe he can be a dominant force in the paint for us."

A Bright Future for BYU Basketball

The addition of Staton is a major boost for BYU's future. He joins a talented roster that includes guards Dallin Hall and Jaxon Robinson, and forward Fousseyni Traore. With Staton in the fold, the Cougars have a solid foundation to build upon in their quest for NCAA Tournament success.

Staton's commitment is a testament to the growing reputation of BYU basketball under Pope's leadership. The Cougars have consistently been competitive in the West Coast Conference and have made multiple NCAA Tournament appearances in recent years. Staton's decision to join BYU is a signal that the program is on the rise and has the potential to become a national contender.
