After playing a key role in San Beda’s NCAA Season 99 championship run — where he averaged 8.48 points and 7.7 rebounds per game — he received offers from multiple UAAP schools and an NCAA program. However, he opted to stay for one more season with the Red Lions.

In his final year with San Beda, he posted averages of 7.32 points, 5.32 rebounds, and 1.58 assists per game.

Payosing will serve a one-year residency before debuting for the Fighting Maroons in UAAP Season 89.

Turning 23 in November, he will still have two years of eligibility remaining.
