Khalil is another 2027 freshman who is built like a senior. Taylor received his biggest offer thus far from the Pitt Panthers on Thursday. Taylor has been a standout on offense, defense, and special teams in ’23. As an outside receiver, he’s a clear deep threat with FBS ball skills on both sides of the ball. Taylor’s 6’0, 185-pound frame, mixed with strong hands and speed, is very advantageous on the backend at safety as well. Khalil isn’t afraid to come up from strong safety and make open-field tackles in space. His ball skills are an asset when he’s making plays in cover 2 on defense. I watched Taylor in person this summer, and he’s definitely most dangerous on fade routes. One thing I didn’t know was that he’s capable of taking a kickoff back at any time. Khalil also received an offer from the Akron Zips on Wednesday of last week.

Taylor is an explosive athlete overall that displays a lot of collegiate potential. He possesses breakaway speed with the ball in hand. At Defensive Back he has good play recognition & anticipates passing well. The 2023 athlete is explosive & he transitions well covering receivers. Khalil plays bigger than his 5’9 160 lbs frame, & he possesses the speed that makes him dangerous returning.

Taylor is an explosive athlete overall but I like him as a college defensive back. At RB he displays breakaway speed & athleticism that easily translates to defensive back. He transitions well and anticipates passes equally as impressive. Khalil is also a good Blitzer that isn’t afraid of contact. Taylor’s speed makes him a dangerous return man that’s capable of taking it the distance at any time.
