2022 RB Gi'Bran Payne names M to top 10

I know I just posted a thread about Domani Jackson naming Michigan to his top 10, but I'm all hopped up on Mountain Dew, so this is thread #2 for the day.

Cincinnati (OH) La Salle running back Gi'Bran Payne named Michigan to his top 10, too. He's a 4-star, the #24 running back, and #206 overall to 247 Sports in the 2022 class. Alabama, Penn State, and Wisconsin (plus others) have also offered. There hasn't been a ton said about 2022 running backs with so much focus on Donovan Edwards in 2021, but it could be pretty dang important if Michigan whiffs on Edwards and needs a good back in 2022. (I know Dillon Tatum from West Bloomfield is a 2022 kid, but I don't really see him playing RB in college; he's probably more of a safety.)

Pop (soda) will rot your teeth and make you fat.  Get off that Mountain Dew.  (I'm 3 years clean from a 20+ year diet soda and 45 year soda addiction.)

How do you pronounce that first name?  Can’t figure out if it’s a hard or soft G. Seems most likely soft. 
 

Je-BRAN is what I’m going with.

OSU is recruiting him but haven't offered yet. They tend to wait to offer in-state kids (unless they are absolute takes after their Sophomore year). Talk in OSU recruiting media is that if OSU makes a push (and some think they will), they will definitely be in the conversation. Other top RB targets for OSU in 2022 include Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen, and Emeka Megwa.
