About Nicholas
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Leading off the Class we have an outstanding athlete at WR. Racine Case’s Nicholas Payne has the potential to put himself into the conversation for the best WR to come out of the state. At least in recent history. Nicholas is 5’11” and I won’t be surprised to see him continue to grow to match his extremely long arms. The freshman uses that reach to his advantage, giving his QB a huge target area. The ’29 WR is so athletically gifted. He can win with speed, has elite quick twitch agility to rip open separation from DBs, and his ability to go and attack the ball at the highest possible point make him nightmare fuel to cover out wide.
The freshman isn’t afraid of the work to be great either. He is extremely dedicated in the offseason to improving and is very accomplished on the track too. Nicholas can be as good as he wants to be in the end. He has earned his spot at the top.
