Halton spent four seasons with the Oklahoma Sooners, signing with OU as part of the 2022 recruiting class under head coach Brent Venables. During his senior season, he logged seven TFLs, 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. He became a disruptive force at defensive tackle and an emerging pass-rusher.
