Taiwo, committed to UGA, is the obvious prospect on this squad to monitor, and someone who is well covered up to this point. He is a long, cut, lean player who flashes SEC-caliber tools as a pass rusher, plus a frame that supports future growth.

He’s one of the top returning defenders in the area and has seen his recruitment pick up recently with new offers from Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Middle Tennessee State, Eastern Carolina, among others.
