RJ Staten brings size, length, and developing edge-rush upside to McNeese
RJ Staten is a 6'3", 236-pound sophomore defensive end for McNeese who profiles as a length-and-physicality edge player rather than a pure stat-sheet star, with his value tied to disruptive traits and upside more than public production data. ESPN lists him on the 2025 McNeese roster and the McNeese athletics roster shows no available season statistics for 2026, so the clearest read is that he is still developing into a larger role. If you need a developmental defender with frame, effort, and room to grow, he’s worth watching; if you need an instant-impact, proven pass-rush finisher, the current evidence is thinner.[1][2]
