– who is firmly on the Gophers instate recruiting board – is a tremendous runner, posting a ridiculous 1,997 yards and 30 TDs on an 18.5 YPC average as a junior. With big-time size, Taylor has a ton going for him, including an eye-catching performance at the 2025 UND Flagship Prospect Camp, putting up green testing numbers on a tremendous frame whose COD, hips, and general mobility we got a nice firm look at in Grand Forks. He’s poised and primed for a big-time boost in the rankings and an outstanding Summer Camp SZN after helping Litchfield to a 8-4 record and 319 YPG average, according to MNFootballHub, in 2025.
Taylor opens his junior highlights with a dazzling first rep in which he spins through two LB’s tackle attempts and a mass of bodies on the ground at the second level, runs through another tackle attempt, then carries a DB like a backpack for an extra 10+ yards in an electric display of strength and effort. The 6’2, 210 lber. follows it up by showing off some vision as takes a direct snap, zigzags and bursts upfield, cuts back against the grain, and then stiff-arms three, yes, three, defenders to the ground before racing upfield, gathering his balance, and stiff-arming another would-be tackler before getting hawked down near the goal line. He does show some homerun speed and ability, and Taylor is a violent runner who sent some defenders flying onto their butts in 2025 and owns a mean truck stick that will drop the pads and bring the physicality and aggression to the tackler and to the contact point.
Taylor is an electric blend of speed, power, size, and physicality, though I’d categorize him as a power runner first, and one who potentially projects to LB at the next level, but it’s hard not to love his nonstop motor, lateral agility, and vision, as he sees and manipulates space as a ball carrier and packs a wallop at the contact point, with some of the best contact balance in the state regardless of class. Pay attention to this Litchfield Dragon as the Summer Camp Circuit approaches quickly.
