About Payton
Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
I was quite impressed at the Winona State prospect camp with the elusive hands Payton showed off. Payton also showed some good fluidity when working on his feet in 1v1 drills in my eyes. As one of the smaller players on the Byron Bears offensive line, when I got to watch more tape on Payton, I was impressed with not just his stance but the strength he showed off, as most of the nose tackles he had reps against he was able to maintain great positioning to assure they wouldn’t get past him as he would usually win with the placement of his footwork I mentioned. He also won a lot of reps with his hand placement, as he kept them consistently under the pads of the defender regardless of what clip I got to watch from his tape. He’ll need to develop more strength in the weight room to grow on getting even better leverage, but I expect Payton to turn the corner in his development as we look to the upcoming season.
