Im wondering the same thing. Payne wasn't all that talked about going into last year about making a huge impact and really hasn't been talked about this spring either. He obviously isn't as high profile of a player as Jojo or even Honas yet and isn't talked about nearly as much as them. I could definitely see him making an impact in the rotation or even on special teams this season.
Listening to the player interviews today the players seemed to have high praise for each other giving competition between the Receiver room and the Secondary. Iron Sharpens Iron... Really hoping this year we can hit better on those downfield passes and defend the deep ball better as a Secondary
So I saw the hire of Jonathan Germano from Bergan Catholic (NJ) do we know what type of role he will be in at NU? Grad Assistant? Analyst? Assistant QB Coach?
Im just curious to know if anyone has heard anything about Walk-Ons or younger players who are making a big impact on spring practice and who is looking to potentially earn playing time or scholarships.
