Claims an offer from the Buckeyes, and that Ohio State is in his top five along with Miami, Florida, Florida State, and Tennessee (all offered). Payne plans to make official visits to his five favorites.

Keion Payne (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) has cut his list of 26 scholarship offers down to five, ESPN affiliate Web site EerSports.com reports.

Ohio State, Miami-FL, Florida, Florida State and Tennessee are the only programs left under consideration for Payne. He plans to officially visit each campus

Would that be enough to remove the "?" next to his "Official Offer"?

Another guy from Aquinas? Wow...Riggs, Payne, and Joyner will have to be the best secondary in the country. I believe they have another stud DB if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully we can land a few and dig a pipeline into Aquinas.

Not very tall, but I love how physical he is against opposing WRs. It also looks like he has great instincts and an awareness where the football is at all times. This is a great offer. I hope we have a chance here.

I love that we are getting in on more secondary players so if others choose elsewhere, OSU still has a lot of great options.

All 4 of STA's DB's have offers from major programs(all 4 have been offered by the NC Gators) if that tells you anything...

FWIW...

Bill Greene at Scout has confirmed no offer for Payne. Bill's info is about as solid as you can get.

BN $ - Three-peat?

Jim Tressel has signed two players from the same high school in the same recruiting class a number of times since he has been at Ohio State including his 2009 recruiting class when he signed two from Pickerington Central and two from Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway standouts. This year he would like to sign three from the same school.

More of the same on Payne...same top 5 and wants to take visits.

A lot of top corner prospects still available in the 2010 class. - ESPN

Saint Thomas Aquinas head coach George Smith certainly has some options at defensive back this season with Joyner and Riggs, but don't forget about three-star corner Keion Payne (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Saint Thomas Aquinas). The undecided corner has fluid hips, turns and polished cover corner skills.

Sun Sentinel: Keion Payne Bio

QUOTE ABOUT PLAYING FOOTBALL: "Even with all the hours you put into it to get ready, there is always room to do better. I feel chills all over my body and I get some butterflies knowing all eyes are on us as we take the field each game. But it's no pressure at all really, and it feels great to know the fans are behind us."

Says he spoke with someone at each of his top 5 schools (below) on 9/1. He's still interested in all 5 but admits to growing up a Miami fan. Sounds like a Miami lean to me.

Miami
Florida State
Tennessee
Florida
Ohio State

Miami lock. Only reason this thread is still here is because he keeps talking about a visit.
