is an athletic freak at the defensive tackle spot for the Eagles. In his pass rush, Taylor has great finesse, offers a vicious pull slide, and can beat guards with a good ghost rush. He has quick feet and can recover quickly from being on the ground to run-fit. Taylor does well at seeing the backfield as it comes to him and can put himself in a good position often when run at. Taylor has it all as a prospect and has put together a good season. Taylor accumulated 31 tackles, 9 TFLs, and 5 sacks in his regular season against tough competition.

Diondre who transferred to St. Edward this year played very well as a Sophomore in 2023. His outstanding play was a bright spot in the 4-7 season of the Benedictine Bengals. He plays as a DT and DE. Against the run, he is quick off the ball and shows great use of hands as he wins battles with his hands inside before quickly disengaging. He locates the RB before making the tackle behind the LOS for a TFL. Against the pass, he executes an impressive spin move before he penetrates the LOS. He quickly forces the QB to pass the ball earlier than anticipated leading to an incomplete pass.

has been a name that has been gaining traction of late and Saturday was another opportunity for the freshman to get noticed. Showcasing his speed and flexibility going against a number of different linemen in pass pro, Taylor showed off improved footwork when attacking to get spin moves done in a hurry. Improving on the film from last season, Taylor played with poise as he went to work against different offensive linemen. He was unpredictable when lining up against his man while getting creative with beating his man. Taylor’s been hitting the gym hard and working on his technique and it showed on Saturday.
