Actually, yes. Walter Payton never played at Houston Baptist.
Edit: it should be noted that Payton never got an offer from Southern Miss. The Southern Miss coach watched him score six (or eight) TD's in a HS game. On the last TD he decided to show that he could out run his pursuers while running backward. The Southern Miss coach wisely decided that he didn't want a hot dog on his team (or maybe he just checked and found he was only a three star).
Thanks for the history lesson, Coach McElwain!
