Payne is a 6-7, 310, Freshman offensive lineman from Sierra Canyon HS, Chatsworth, CA. Here is the analysis from Brandon Combs, AZ Desert Swarm:
He carries his weight well and can easily add on a lot of good weight to his frame once he gets to Tucson.

Payne is surprisingly nimble and athletic for his size. He has above average footwork and has quickness with his feet to boot. His lateral movement is smooth and he can shift quickly to engage the pass rusher.

He has good lower body strength and sets a good base when engaging with his blocks. He has a nice, long wingspan as well and does a good job locking onto his opponent.

Payne doesn’t bend very much and doesn’t really have that upper body flexibility yet. This causes him to play with higher pad level. However, he more than makes up for it with his aggressive playstyle and overall talent.
