Pharrel Payne is a senior forward who leads Maryland in scoring at 17.5 points per game this season. He dominates the glass with 7.2 rebounds per game. He does his damage in the paint, not from the perimeter. He has started all 10 games this season.
A 6-foot-9 forward from Cottage Grove, Minnesota, Payne was a first-team all-state selection at Park High School and a Basketball Top 10 finalist for the top boys' player in Minnesota. He committed to his hometown Minnesota Golden Gophers and averaged 9.1 points and 5.6 rebounds across two seasons and 62 games in Minneapolis. After entering the transfer portal as a sophomore, Payne signed with Texas A&M under coach Buzz Williams. His most memorable performance in College Station came in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, when he posted 25 points and 10 rebounds in a first-round win over Yale. When Williams departed for Maryland in May 2025, Payne followed — one of four Aggies to join him in College Park. As one of Buzz Williams' most experienced frontcourt players, Payne arrived at Maryland with a career's worth of minutes in power conferences and a proven track record in March.
