2022 RB Taking OV to Notre Dame this weekend
2022 Lasalle (Ohio) running back Gi'Bran Payne will take an official visit this weekend to Notre Dame. The 5-foot-10, 190-pounder signed with Indiana in December and then requested and was granted a release from his letter of intent in March. "As a person (and athlete) I thrive and prosper off of communication and genuine relationships," Payne said in a statement following his decision "With that said, I am looking to explore my options to make sure I am making the best decision for me and my future."Notre Dame will be an attractive program for Payne as he committed to Deland McCullough at Indiana. Payne did battle injuries as a junior and senior in high school, but had a strong sophomore campaign by rushing over 10 ypc.

Quick note on Carnell Tate
I'm told Notre Dame will send the crew to Cincinnati to see La Salle host IMG Academy to see 2023 WR Carnell Tate (and every other IMG player) on Friday. I'd expect Tommy Rees, Del Alexander, Lance Taylor, Jeff Quinn and potentially Mike Elston to make that trip. It will also be a chance to Taylor and company to get a final evaluation in on 2022 La Salle running back Gi'Bran Payne, who is currently an Indiana commit. Notre Dame is keeping its options open on a second running back in the class, so if Payne can have a good showing against the top defense in America, the Irish could potentially turn the heat up. I'm not totally sold Payne will be the guy, but in-person evals are always important.
