Class of 2026 OL Xavier Payne (FL) Verbal to Colorado

[cayugacuse]

The thing I love about Fran is that he likely gets pumped up by competing and winning against the big boys instead of walking away scared of FSU, Bama, Georgia, etc. He also probably loves going head to head against Deion. Fran is a damn competitor!

Coach Fran is our David!

Dino was our David. Fran is our Goliath taking on other Goliaths!

We want him on that wall. We need him on that wall.

You’re up big boy

Maybe he was waiting to see if Russell was going to come.

In the analyzing of the social media post. Hopefully there is nothing to us being the away team vs Colorado being the home team.

Maybe he thinks we are a good road team(we did have a winning road record last year)

Colorado only has 5 commits to the 2026 class. Nobody knows how long prime will stay there but seems Noone believes it will be till this classes upper classmen years

I don't worry about Fran and OL recruits. He didn't love our OL after spring game and loom what he did. Rice, ferguson and others. OL usually take longer to develop, whereas WRa and DBs seem to have a better chance of having an impact as freshman. Perfectly fine getting skill position freshman and OL and DL in the portal

 

[cardiac]

I’m good with us not getting him. I think this kid was gonna be a problem and the skill wasn’t enough to deal with it. You don’t get kicked out of a visit at FSU for no reason

Payne is lying to him like Russell lied to Michigan!!

Maybe he was waiting to see if Russell was going to come.

It sure didn’t hurt our chances.
