The official visit slate has been a busy one for Xavier Payne this month.

“It was great,” Payne told Rivals. “The best part was being to sit down with the offensive line coaches and truly building that connection while getting to see their plan for me and how I fit into the program.
“As I was sitting in the room it really hit me how much NFL experience is on the staff. So not only do they know how to get there because they did it, but also because they have sent so many in their years of coaching.”
It was the big blocker’s first time in Boulder.
“The main coaches with me were the entire offensive line group and mainly coach Gunnar (White),” Payne said. “The place has definitely given me some things to think about.

“I meshed really well there. Don’t count them out of my recruitment.”

Payne even got to match wits with one of the most notable Buff players at the position in Jordan Seaton. The former five-star ran into the top recruit and something clicked.
“Me and Seaton actually got on the board for a little and compared my high school plays and showed me how they would run it,” he said. “We both love the game deeply and love talking football. Like him sitting with me wasn’t because of the coaches, he had just popped up in the offensive line room to hang a poster up and we just hit it off.”
