Logan Payne brings old-school power and local pedigree to BYU’s backfield
Logan Payne is a 5-foot-10, 215-pound freshman running back for BYU with a sturdy, downhill style and real Utah-hill-country cred: in 2021 at Weber High, he led 6A in rushing with 1,390 yards and 16 touchdowns while also earning Utah RB of the Year honors. He’s intriguing because he looks built for short-yardage punishment, physical finish runs, and special-teams grit, and he entered BYU as a preferred walk-on rather than a blue-chip headline. If your team wants a compact, tough, no-nonsense runner with upside, he’s a name worth tracking.
