"The coaches — coach Davis, coach Cristobal, who recruited him, coach Cochran and coach Smart — they were all bragging that he was ahead of schedule [physically]," Smith told AL.com.
After enrolling at Alabama just two months ago, Payne — whom Rivals ranked as a five-star recruit and the 19th-best overall prospect in this year's recruiting class — is already one of the stronger players on the Tide's team.
