Vertical threat with big-play juice for Central Michigan
In the 2025 season, Collin Payne caught 4 passes for 87 yards, an eye-popping 21.8 yards per catch, with a long of 63 yards for Central Michigan[1][2]. At 6-foot-2 and about 205–210 pounds, he brings a downfield frame and clear big-play ability; that 63-yard grab is the kind of “flip the field” play coaches love[2][14]. He was a productive high-school receiver at El Toro, and the current profile suggests a developmental WR who can stretch defenses and fit a system that values explosive perimeter threats[3][8].
