Guys, I talked earlier with a kid who's gaining a ton of momentum early in the summer, LC Bird (Va.) 2019 wide receiver Jaden Payoute. No ranking, but that's only temporary. He's taken in some camps already and now has 17 offers, most recent from Cincinnati, VT, Illinois, Boston College, Tennessee and Charlotte.
The Bearcats offered Payoute today at lunch. At this point, he said he doesn't know much about them. There's some kind of connection here, but I'm still trying to nail it down. A coach on the Bird staff has a brother on the Cincinnati staff. So Payoute has heard plenty about UC before, but he hasn't been. And UC has a chance, as Payoute said the next three visits he hopes to take are UC, Illinois and Tennessee. No dates set yet.
The other one to watch here is Virginia Tech. In-state and Bird has sent a ton of guys to the Hokies in the past. Payoute is also visiting Blacksburg this weekend for a camp. The other one to watch is Penn State. His teammate, four-star Hakeem Beamon, committed there recently and Payoute has been to PSU with him.
No favorites or list cuts yet, so the Bearcats are still in it. But we'll find out just how much, if he visits this summer or not.
Full story coming.
