Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman, Lance Taylor In Pursuit Of Four-Star RB
Cincinnati (Ohio) La Salle class of 2022 running back Gi’Bran Payne narrowed his list down to Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Penn State and Purdue back in November.
Payne plans to announce another cut to his recruitment soon. Two of the schools from his top seven will be removed, leaving him with a top five, and then the four-star back hopes to take official visits to those five programs if visits open up in the spring.
The 5-10, 190-pounder notes that Florida running backs coach Greg Knox is recruiting him the hardest, but Notre Dame has been consistently after him and is picking it up as of late.
“I’ve been talking with Coach [Lance] Taylor and am talking to Coach [Marcus] Freeman now since he got there,” Payne said. “He was the one recruiting me from Cincinnati. I’ve been chopping it up with him. I was more familiar with him than any other coach there.”
