Jaden Payoute arrived at Virginia Tech in 2019 with high expectations. A four-star wide receiver from Lloyd C. Bird High School in Chesterfield, Virginia, the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Payoute had coaches and fans excited from the moment he stepped on campus.
Sadly, Payoute’s football career at Virginia Tech is over after three seasons. Payoute took to Twitter Tuesday to announce he was taking a medical disqualification, ending his football career at Virginia Tech.
After lengthy conversations with my family and coaches, as well as many hours of prayer, I have made the difficult decision to take a medical disqualification and conclude my football career at Virginia Tech.
