Sounds like Payton will graduate from Tech after the Summer Session ends and will seek a grad transfer. In earlier post today talked about the abundance of defensive backs on Tech's current roster and that there weren't enough reps for everyone. Sounds like Payton (who is stuck behind Jah'Shawn Johnson on the depth chart) wanted a fresh start to compete. Makes sense, especially after the influx of DB's over the last year and a half.
