"I am committing, but just the vibe I got from Coach Norvell and the intensity and the way that I just know that he knows and believes in myself and the program," said Payne.

Payne also spoke about his relationship with FSU's new offensive line coach and it what it meant to him that he was the first offensive lineman to be offered by Hand after he took the job with the Seminoles.

"It was everything, because me and him, we were close," said Payne. "We were real close at UCF and he came over here, and as soon as it was out, literally five hours later, he called me and was like, 'Yo, you're my guy.' And he put a lot of faith in me with that, and that was a huge part of my decision today, just knowing that I had faith in him."

He also spoke about what he likes about Hand as a coach on the field.

"I love the way he gets after it every day," continued Payne. "He coaches with a lot of intensity, but also, he's a family guy. He's going to take care of his guys outside of football. And my goal is the NFL. So, he's put a lot of guys in the NFL, so that's a big part of it."
