The Oklahoma Sooners picked up another prediction for 2024 four-star running back, Jeremy Payne. This time from SoonerScoop.com’s Josh McCuistion.
Less than a week after receiving a Rivals FutureCast from national recruiting analyst Nick Harris, McCuistion followed that up with a favorable Sooners prediction of his own.
Oklahoma running back coach DeMarco Murray has become a machine on the recruiting trail. Though he hasn’t landed a five-star running back yet, he’s consistently landing four-star running backs for the Sooners.
If Payne were to commit, that would make the third cycle in a row in which Murray landed a four-star running back. In the 2022 cycle, they brought in Jovantae Barnes and Gavin Sawchuk. In 2023, Daylan Smothers and Kalib Hicks.
Payne is a shifty runner with breakaway speed. He regularly makes people miss in the open field. He’s got excellent vision and agility and is a threat to score every time he touches the football. In the passing game, he looks more like a wide receiver with the way he brings in the ball. He’s a natural hands catcher that will be effective down the field on wheel routes, over the middle on Texas routes, or in the screen game.
Jeremy Payne is a dynamic player that brings a home-run hitting ability that would be a huge asset for the Oklahoma Sooners if they were to land his commitment.
