Payton is heading into his redshirt junior season and emerged opposite future-first-round pick Jared Verse as the Seminoles went 13-1 last season and won the ACC championship for the first time since 2016. Payton recorded 42 tackles, a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. Payton also had six quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and 10 pass breakups last season.
While Payton is one of the top returning players for FSU, Oregon State transfer quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and former Georgia defensive end transfer Marvin Jones Jr. are also two players who could see themselves among the top 100 players rated by the end of the season.
Payton tweeted on his X account (formerly Twitter) that he believes some teammates were missing from the list.
