The Path to Norman

Devin Staton has been a fan of OU since third grade. Since then, his fandom has only grown. Devin was set to accept a preferred walk-on spot at Rice; however, the night before signing day, Coach Cale Gundy called with an offer. Shortly after that…

Career so Far

Highlights

This Season

The receiver group enters 2021 with a lot of unknowns; there is plenty of talent, but the performance in 2020 leaves playing time relatively open this year. It’s the perfect opportunity for a walk-on like Staton to earn valuable minutes. The tallest wide receiver not named Jadon Haselwood or Theo Wease on the roster, Staton has a chance to become the latest in a long string of valuable walk-on receivers for the Sooners.
