Got this via the wonderul Google Alerts. I can't read more cuz I don't have a rivals.com membership but maybe someone here who does can read more and give us the scoop.

I'd definitley be interested in hearing more about him. 6'5" 220 is pretty good size already. Class of 2009. After doing a google search, seems the evil empire in Columbus has people salivating already.

Quote:
Class of 2009 QB Devontae Payne has put himself on the map this off season. He will be one of the most recruited players in the class of 2009. Watching film of Devontae, you see a very raw prospect who at 6-5, 220 is still showing signs of growing "Paynes." His size is almost awkward as he towers above just about everyone on the playing field. But as he grows into his body and you project Devonate out to about three or four years from now when he will actually see the college football field, you will see a man amongst boys. This could very easily be the next Byron Leftwitch, Daunte Culpepper, or maybe even Vince Young. Right now, Payne shows great accuracy and understanding of the game as evidenced by his 19 TD pass verses three interceptions his sophomore year. Watch for this player to make great strides his junior season and find himself amongst the top prospects in Ohio.

Devontae says he is hearing from Ohio State, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Syracuse and every one of the MAC schools.

Yeah, after doing some "googleing" myself, I found quite a bit of love for this guy by OSU fans. Even found a few highlight videos as well. Needless to say I don't think we're actually in the running to get this kid with who already is offering this kid. OSU may not get him since they've already got Pryor but Illnois looks to be in the lead to get him.
