How He Fits
The one word that fits Taylor the best is “versatile.” Taylor plays primarily at inside linebacker, but he’s played at outside linebacker, defensive end, and even wide receiver at Lanier. Taylor racked up 116 tackles as a junior last season, and he was disruptive in the backfield on multiple occasions as well. Taylor is extremely quick for an inside linebacker, and he’s the type of athletic middle linebacker that can fit into any defensive scheme.
