Four-star 7-foot C Xavion Staton sets commitment date

Xavion Staton, one of the top big men in the 2025 class, has set his commitment date for Monday, November 4th at 6:00 PM PT, he told On3.

The 7-foot four-star big man out of Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas, NV will decide between BYU, Michigan, Stanford, and UNLV.

Dusty May and the Wolverines are the only program that has hosted Staton on an official visit. He will make trips to each of his remaining finalists — Stanford (10/4), UNLV (10/26), and BYU (11/2) before making a decision.

Staton is the No. 31 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 3 center prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Staton discusses his schools

In a previous interview with On3, Xavion Staton broke down the schools involved in his recruitment.

UNLV: “They are the hometown school and have shown the most support, always having at least 1 coach at games, sometimes the whole staff present. Their staff is unmatched in support. They also have a great program, great support system and good academics which could play a part too.”

BYU: “They hadn’t been on my radar prior to them offering, but the program speaks for itself. They entered my recruitment pretty late, but seem to really believe in me. The coaching staff seems great and it’s close to home. I’m keeping them in my top to get to know them more and explore that as an option.”

Michigan: “They have shown some of the top support whether that’s coming to games 3-4 deep or constant check ups and calls. They have great facilities, amazing staff as well as great academics.”

Stanford: “Amazing academically and a good program going with good facilities as well as a great staff who has always showed some support no matter what. Beautiful campus in terms of what I’ve researched. It is also a close proximity to home for myself and my family.”

Scouting Report

“The piece of Xavion Staton’s game that pops is the defensive ability. He is an excellent shot blocker with natural feel. He has very long arms with high-set shoulders and a big standing reach and quick-twitch pop. There is an intimidation factor he brings throughout the course of a game. Offensively, Staton needs reps to continue working on his feel for the game. He is a dunker spot, front of the rim-type big right now. Listed as a true 7-footer, he has natural touch beyond the arc, but he needs the reps to work on balance, feet, and load. There is some unique defensive ability, possibly the best rim protector in the class. That will keep him high in the rankings and bring him a lot of notoriety. He plays with a good motor and generally affects play when he is in the game.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
