Octeus is 6-foot-4 and a native of Miami, Florida. He spent his freshman season at Wabash Valley College in Illinois. 

According to the Coloradoan, CSU does not have a scholarship still available for Octeus. The Rams brought in transfers Antwan Scott and Fred Richardson over the offseason.

Before committing to UCLA, Octeus took official visits to Missouri and Cincinnati. Tennessee also was interested in him.
