Payton Thorne

Transfer from Michigan State. Good frame with adequate mass. Good arm strength. Adequate release speed. Good field vision – goes through progressions and understands coverages. Questionable decision making displayed at times – makes poor reads and forces too many passes. Throws with good accuracy and touch. Needs to improve ability to throw with better anticipation to lead receivers open. Above average athlete with the ability to break free and make long runs. Mature leader who has been benched at both schools but bounced back and became the starter again.
