Taylor is an explosive athlete capable of impacting the game in all three phases, making him one of the more intriguing all purpose prospects in his class. His ability as a return specialist stands out immediately, as he possesses the vision and acceleration to flip field position in an instant while also being a constant threat to take kicks back for touchdowns.

Taylor measures in at 5’10 168 pounds and is a scatback for Vista Ridge. He had 12 carries for 152 yards, 23 receptions for 534 yards with 5 touchdowns, and 140 return yards. Taylor has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, change of direction, and good balance. As a receiver, demonstrates very good release vs the press jam. Beats the jam and re-route attempts by DBs. Very good separation quickness and good catching. As a running back, he shows his very good vision to weave through the defense. He picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. Once he breaks free, he uses his home run ability to run into the endzone. Another exciting receiver to look out for.

HT: 5’8 WT: 150.6 Wingspan: 72″ Hand: 9″ 40: 4.57 L-Drill: 7.21 Broad Jump: 9ft 9in Pro Shuttle: 4.38
Taylor balled out at this combine. He was ranked top 25 in each category. He ranked 3rd in the broad jump, and 3rd in the 40 yard time, 19th in L-drill, and 22 in the pro shuttle. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, change of direction and speed! The L-drill and pro shuttle were both great examples of his very controlled body movement and balance. Great catching and release. Quick going into his breaks with no wasted movement. Taylor landed on my radar due to this event !

Taylor showcased a smooth, polished skill set that allowed him to create consistent separation. His route running was sharp, with quick transitions in and out of breaks. Taylor’s speed forced defenders to open early, giving him space at the top of routes. He also showed strong hands, securing contested catches along the sideline in traffic. One particular rep highlighted his ability to sell the route, create separation and make the difficult catch when needed. Taylor’s performance reflected a receiver trending upward, and his under the radar status is unlikely to last much longer.
