Michael Taylor Michael Taylor 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Pickerington North | 2025 State OH , a running back from Pickerington North, is an electrifying player standing at 5’10” and weighing 195 pounds. With a blistering 40-yard dash time of 4.5 seconds, he possesses the speed and explosiveness that coaches covet at the running back position.

One of Taylor’s most impressive attributes is his innate ability to read running lanes. Whether it’s a gap scheme play like the G/T counter or G/H counter, or a zone play such as inside zone or outside zone, Taylor excels in finding the creases and exploiting them with precision. This versatility sets him apart, as it’s rare for a running back to excel in both gap and zone schemes.

Taylor’s skill set extends beyond his vision and understanding of blocking schemes. He displays exceptional burst and agility, allowing him to quickly hit the hole and evade defenders in the open field. Despite his explosiveness, he also shows patience when necessary, waiting for blocks to develop before accelerating through the line of scrimmage.

His impressive performance on the field has garnered attention from college programs, with offers already on the table from Marshall, Toledo, and Ball State. With a projected breakout senior year ahead, it’s likely that more offers will come pouring in as scouts and recruiters take notice of his undeniable talent.

In summary, Michael Taylor Michael Taylor 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Pickerington North | 2025 State OH is a dynamic running back prospect with the speed, vision, and versatility to succeed at the collegiate level and beyond. His ability to excel in both gap and zone schemes, coupled with his explosiveness and natural instincts, make him a highly sought-after recruit in the class of 2025.
