Payton Cornelius Payton Cornelius 5'9" | CG Lipan | 2026 TX is a dynamic guard who plays fast, aggressive, and unafraid. He attacks closeouts well and keeps defenders honest with his pull-up game. His competitiveness shows up on every possession—diving for loose balls, pressing up defensively, and bringing constant communication. Cornelius is the kind of guard who thrives in chaos and can shift momentum with hustle plays. He projects as a high-motor playmaker with emotional leadership value.
