Donovan Payne brings mismatch upside to Alabama A&M’s TE room
Donovan Payne looks like a useful, athletic tight end for Alabama A&M: in the 2025 season, he was listed at 6'5", 226 pounds and recorded 12 receptions for 152 yards and 1 touchdown, showing improved involvement as a pass catcher.[1][3][6] His value is the frame and versatility more than raw volume, with 2024 production already hinting at red-zone usefulness and the kind of length that can stress smaller defenders.[1][9] He’s not a “box score bully” yet, but if your team wants a developmental TE with size, football background, and some after-catch pop, Payne is worth a look.[1][3]
