Payne Cearnal '26 Recruiting Profile

When I was in 2nd grade after winning a 3rd straight City Championship in football as QB1 everyone started asking me if I was excited for next season - I still remember all I could think about was baseball season and when I could get back out to centerfield.  That was when I knew baseball was the greatest game and every opportunity I have with the team to compete is a blessing.  My skills in the classroom and on the field give me the spirit and leadership to bring that "it factor" to any dugout through hardwork, determination, competition and support of my teammates, coaching staff, leadership and the university.  Believe that I can be that game-changer to contribute to a team beyond the baseball diamond, classroom but also in leadership beyond by serving others, I can help the team win more games.
