Senior wide receiver JaVonta Payton transferred to Tennessee from Mississippi State ahead of the 2021 season.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound wide receiver scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 3 against Tennessee Tech.
“It was an amazing experience,” Payton said. “With this being my first touchdown here at Tennessee, I just took it all in. This is actually my second touchdown in the SEC, so it was all just amazing.
“With it actually being here at home for my first one, it was just a great experience. All of my teammates there to meet me in the end zone and celebrate with me. It was a great experience.”
