Expert Analysis
Conner Smith | Prep Redzone Scout
The big running back is a bruiser at 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds. He can run through and carry defenders, but is relatively swift for his size. He runs well while having solid vision and cuts to weave through traffic. Taylor moves well in open space and knows when to hit the hole or bounce outside to gain extra yardage.
The West Carroll tailback put together an outstanding week 1 performance where he ran for 346 yards and four touchdowns in a 52-7 win over Gibson County. He’ll only continue to improve, but Taylor has everything you look for in a good high school rusher.

is a kid I really like. As the running theme in this write up is versatility, Taylor is another prime example of this. He’s a shorter, thicker prospect that had a great eighth grade season at both linebacker and running back. He doesn’t have the breakaway speed of other pure running backs right now, but he can gobble up yards quicker than you’d imagine. Can play both outside and inside linebacker at this point, but I think he’ll carve out a nice spot for himself as an active middle linebacker over the next four years–in addition to getting his carries on offense.
