Mitch Payne story
Mitch Payne built his college career from 2007 through 2010 as a placekicker from North Ogden, UT wearing No. 38, spending time with BYU. The clearest part of Mitch Payne's career was his special-teams scoring: 334 kicking points, 47 made field goals on 63 attempts, and 193 extra points across 52 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2009 with BYU. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.
Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. With 52 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across BYU.
The arc is straightforward: Mitch Payne moved through the depth chart, found a larger role, and turned that opportunity into production that can be understood through standard football numbers.
