Bucknuts.com - Bucknuts Recruiting Rewind: 9/9

Quote:
Class of 2009 QB Devontae Payne has put himself on the map this off season. He will be one of the most recruited players in the class of 2009. Watching film of Devontae, you see a very raw prospect who at 6-5, 220 is still showing signs of growing "Paynes." His size is almost awkward as he towers above just about everyone on the playing field. But as he grows into his body and you project Devonate out to about three or four years from now when he will actually see the college football field, you will see a man amongst boys. This could very easily be the next Byron Leftwitch, Daunte Culpepper, or maybe even Vince Young. Right now, Payne shows great accuracy and understanding of the game as evidenced by his 19 TD pass verses three interceptions his sophomore year. Watch for this player to make great strides his junior season and find himself amongst the top prospects in Ohio.

Cleveland South's high school football team a winner regardless of playoff score, says columnist Terry Pluto


Friday, November 02, 2007
Led by a coach who won't quit, Cleveland South's 28-man football team bands together for its first-ever state playoff game.
When Jarvis Gib son stands in front of the 28 Cleveland South High School football players, the coach thinks about more than his team making the school's first trip to the state playoffs tonight when the Flyers face Normandy at Byers Field in Parma.

Gibson thinks of Devontae Payne, the star 6-foot-7 quarterback who is being recruited by Big Ten schools. He thinks of how a few years ago, by his own admission, Payne was getting "C's, D's, F's . . . not real good." He thinks of Payne having GPAs of 3.2, 3.5 and 4.0 in his past three grading periods.

What's the story with this kid? Grades? Mechanics?

He looks like a decent Plan B QB for a BCS school.
