About Devin
Expert Analysis
Jordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Taylor recently picked up a well-deserved first offer from Nevada and should see more recruiting attention going forward. 5’11” 200 lbs. he’s got all the traits colleges look for in a D1 safety with a strong frame, high football IQ, and equally effective in run support as he is in coverage. Shows good overall range with the speed to cover ground sideline to sideline. Quick change of direction and fluid hips allow him to easily transition when turning to run or break downhill on the ball. Shows clean and controlled footwork in his backpedal and closes space quickly with a decisive downhill trigger. Plays with a physical edge, flying downhill to meet ball carriers in the alley or delivering violent hits after the catch to break up passes at the catch point. Was an outstanding defensive playmaker as a junior totaling 65 tackles (49 solo), 4 interceptions, and 6 PBU’s.
