Payne caught 34 passes for 793 yards with six touchdowns for Western last season and had three interceptions on defense.

I like him best as a receiver who can beat guys with a little stutter step and create separation with his long strides. He’s physical on 50/50 balls with good body control and strong hands. As a defender, he’s versatile and can be a zone safety and play some corner as well. He closes to the ball quickly and and jumps routes frequently because he has a good understanding of route combinations. UNLV, San Diego State, Oregon State, New Mexico, Fresno State and Northern Arizona have offered Payne.
