Payton Rion brings experienced, physical interior depth to UTSA’s offensive line
Rion is a guard worth caring about because his value shows up in the dirty work: he was a starter in 2014 and logged 16 pancake blocks in eight appearances, including six in one game against No. 13 Oklahoma State, which signals the kind of power and edge coaches love in the trenches. He profiles as a physical, tone-setting interior lineman whose best trait is finishing blocks, making him a fit for teams that want toughness, run-game juice, and dependable line play rather than flash.
