About Houston

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

A 2-way player that can fit multiple offensive schemes as a TE with great speed and size, also great hands and blocking abilities. On the other side of the ball, a great pass rushing DE with great speed off the line and lengthy arms able to fill the gap.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Always grinding on and off the field to be the best version of me and for my team. I always have a mindset of wanting to be a beast on the field.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am apart of several media teams for broadcasting sports media. I have received several presidential awards for academics and received most outstanding student 3x.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have developed how to become a leader on and off the field and how to be vocal when something isn’t right.

Houston Payne Houston Payne Houston Payne 6'2" | 235 lbs | EDGE/TE Christ Presbyterian Academy | 2028 State TN is an intriguing defensive line prospect that has rotated along the front seven but should be in store for a larger responsibility as he builds on the flashes he showed this season.

He has a strong frame that he can continue adding good weight on, especially if he grows a little bit more, with the anchor and physicality to utilize that frame.

He has strong initial athleticism and can effectively track down ball carriers with his natural athletic and movement traits.

He will be an exciting defensive line player for a talented CPA team that will be in big need of front seven players to step up next season.
