Christian Payne Christian Payne Christian Payne 6'1" | 165 lbs | ATH Sparkman | 2028 State AL is a talented ATH out of Sparkman who’s coming in as our #9 ATH and #74 overall prospect this update.

Defensively, Payne is a talented run defender who consistently creates huge stops upfront for little or no gain. Payne quickly works around offensive linemen to get into the backfield and make plays. I’m really impressed by his closing speed and quickness up front- he’s an athletic defender who can make high-effort hustle plays all game.

Offensively, Payne uses his size and speed to create explosive plays out wide. He has a good set of hands and is tough to bring down after the catch- it’s really impressive watching how well he withstands contact.“

Payne has a ton of talent. I really think we will see him continue to dominate the state over the next few seasons.

In the meantime, check out some of his film below:
