Thailan Payne gives FAMU steady frontcourt production with efficient scoring upside
In the 2025-26 season, Thailan Payne has been a low-usage, efficient forward for Florida A&M, producing 1.4 points and 1.6 rebounds per game while shooting 33.3% from the field and 83.3% at the free-throw line in limited minutes; the real draw is her interior size, physicality, and willingness to do the dirty work without needing touches. For a team needing a role-playing forward who can stay ready, rebound, and bring energy, she looks like a useful glue piece rather than a volume scorer.
