I'd suggest trying smolov
Or alternating between front squats/zercher/overhead squats or other variations for secondary lifts.
Maybe even add some box jumps and other plyometric ; if you do this perform the jumps first as plyos are more neurologically demanding than squats.
I've read-up on smolov, and it states it should only be done by people with like 350+ squats. It talks about how individuals with squats below that simply can't handle it.
I'm gonna try the box squats. I think it's a mental/comfort thing like people are saying. My deadlift is pretty respectable and much higher than my squat.

If he's really serious, I would say smolov. A good friend did it because he torn his bicep, forced to workout legs only. A few months after his training cycle, now has the 4th highest squat in his class nationally. Also, read up on depth jumps.

True.
I just assumed your squat was that high already.
If you're plateauing already then a huge part is mental.
Pause and box squats is what you need. I'd even suggest zercher squats for assistance.
Lay off the bodybuilding curls and extensions for a few weeks.
