Payne is an exciting prospect who has all the tools to be a top signal caller in his class. Against Brighton, he showed his maturation and had great command of the offense. He processes quickly, has a quick release, and is someone who shows good arm talent and will lead his receivers open. He had a good night moving the ball around and keeping the opposing defense on their heels. He’ll have a great season.

Payne flashed his abilities last year as a freshman, and that will help him tenfold as he competes for the job this year, and it should be his for the taking next year. He moves well in the pocket, has good ball placement, did well processing the game, and throws a good intermediate pass. If it’s not his time this year, he will have a breakout next year and be a top breakout star.

Payne showed flashes last year when he started the first set of games and with a full year under his belt can become an absolute riser as the starting signal caller. If he takes the job, he’s shown that he isn’t afraid to take deep shots, to put it in tight windows, and finds ways to extend plays. He has good arm talent and can get to his second read. With another year of growth, he has every right to be a riser.
