Four-star center and BYU signee Xavion Staton loves his San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers lost last year's Super Bowl LVIII to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Utah Prep star had the last laugh when Travis Kelce and crew lost this year against the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
"FOR THE NINERS," Staton wrote.
Staton was watching the game in a hotel room. The BYU signee was surprised the Eagles were leading by a large margin early in the game, saying in an earlier story that things were "bad." However, in his next story, the seven-footer was satisfied with the result as the Eagles stopped the Chiefs three-peat with the final score of 40-22.

Xavion Staton was originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, and ranked No. 34 overall and the No. 3 center from the Class of 2025. He originally played for Sierra Vista but transferred to Utah Prep in December, soon after committing to BYU. This means that Staton and No. 1-ranked senior AJ Dybantsa will be together even in college, though Dybantsa is projected to leave after his freshman year.
Staton chose BYU over UNLV, Stanford, Michigan and USC.
