Payton Wilson is clearly right at home at Orange High School. One day after school in early December, he gives a quick tour of the building. He shows off the newest addition to the atrium connected to the gymnasium, which he is quick to point out has a new floor.

The tour continues down to the football field, where Wilson was an outside linebacker, part-time running back, quarterback and wide receiver before tearing his ACL in October.

As Wilson and his father, Chad, make their way to the field, Payton, offers to help a photographer with his equipment.
