Payne is committed to Bryant University to play football and he’s a true 1% type of athlete so it makes sense that the FCS program would prioritize the Washington High School star. Payne will see a massive rise in the rankings upon its near update and it’s due to his skillset really catching up with his athleticism. Payne is a WR on the football field and a jack of all trades on the basketball court. At 6’6″ he’s a dynamic and well rounded athlete with improved shooting touch and feel as a playmaker in this high octane Washington offense. Payne can knock down the catch and shoot three with consistency, make simple reads with ease in the middle of the floor, and be a constant above the rim threat in transition. Payne is undeniably productive, getting better, and it wouldn’t surprise me if a few schools make a push to get him to play basketball instead of football at the next level.
