Re: 2015 DT Daron Payne
just to be very clear, Payne is in no way a Bama lock as some have perceived in the last 3-4 months. he has mentioned in several of his interviews that he likes Auburn and others very much. how much should we be concern, depends how caught up in the excitement during these camps. at this moment, I think it will come down to Bama and Auburn at the end of the day. he is a great talent for sure, huge upside- strong upper body, good use of hands and feet. he just needs to play with more pad level which can be taught . from what I have read, the UA staff has other DTs that they like very much and would get commitments from some if they really push. obviously, Payne is a priority so we will have to wait and see what will transpire in the coming months.
