Jarryn Payne brings rare size-speed upside to Bryant’s receiver room
In the 2025 season, Bryant listed freshman WR Jarryn Payne at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, and his high school bio says he arrived with production and playmaking juice: 1,441 career receiving yards, a senior year with 871 yards and nine-plus touchdowns, and a standout playoff game with 137 yards and a score. Bryant’s signing-day notes also describe him as a mismatch creator with size, speed, and athleticism, which is exactly the kind of profile that can translate into a high-upside vertical target. If your team wants length, explosiveness, and developmental ceiling, Payne is the kind of bet worth making.
