FSU football loses offensive commit from the trenches

While starting at left tackle at Jones, Payne helped the Tigers make an appearance in the state championship game, coming up short 40-31 to American Heritage and FSU signee, Gregory Xavier Thomas. Payne brings tremendous size to the table and has a lot of potential. He was a prep teammate of Florida State quarterback Trever Jackson.

The 6-foot-7, 290-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 791 overall prospect, the No. 67 OT, and the No. 105 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.
