Steven Payne ‘27 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I started flag football when I was 4 years old. When I was 7 years old, I started tackle football. I am a proud member of a military family. We are currently stationed in Vicenza, Italy. I have been fortunate to play in Missouri, Hawaii,Texas and Italy.  I have played on multiple championship teams. Through collective efforts, my teams have won 3 Division Championships, 1 State Championship. I have been on 3 All-Star Teams and selected defensive player of the year on each team. In December 2022, I was selected as a Junior All-Star for 30^th Greater El Paso Showcase.

Through football, I have strengthened my values, established relationships and it has influenced me to the best person I can be. On the field my coaches would agree that I am coachable, a leader, mentor and always working on improving my skills. 

On the field I am part of a brotherhood pushing my teammates and myself to be the best. In the classroom I strive to work hard on my academics and study hard to maintain my GPA.

I want to attend college to achieve my academic and athletic goals. Which are to achieve a degree in Aerospace Engineer and to become a leader on a National Champion Football Team. Let’s Go!
