Tennessee football target Jake Payne scores in USJ's win over Dyer County
Jake Payne had been a quarterback ever since he started playing organized football as an elementary schooler. Then, a growth spurt in his freshman year at the University School of Jackson sprouted him to 6-foot-6. That new-found height and a natural ability to catch the ball was enough for Bruins coach Derrick Pritchard to suggest Payne consider playing tight end instead. “I was really looking at where he’s going to be four years from now,” Pritchard said. “There aren’t many 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8 quarterbacks running in Division I. There’s a lot of 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8 tight ends.” High School Sports: The most thorough coverage in the region, from clubs through varsity. The decision to switch Payne has paid dividends for the Bruins (7-1), with Payne adding to a productive season with a four-catch, 88-yard performance in a 37-0 win over 4A Dyer County (3-5) on Oct. 16. Payne, a three-star tight end ranked as the No. 27 junior recruit in the state by 247Sports , has received offers from Tennessee, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Iowa State and Missouri, among other Power 4 programs. He will spend Oct. 17 in Athens, Ga. as top-ranked Georgia hosts Auburn. “I’m so blessed,” Payne said of his recruitment
