Shawn Taylor Shawn Taylor 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB/ATH Tates Creek | 2027 State KY is a player who recently caught my attention at our Stock Up Showcase in Kentucky this past winter. Taylor lines up at linebacker where he is very reliable against the run. He has great lateral agility to move sideline to sideline in a hurry and also has the closing speed to get to the ball carrier to make the tackle before they can get going. Shawn has also showed the ability to drop into coverage and make plays against the pass. Taylor doesn’t currently hold any offers but he will be a player for college coaches to keep an eye on heading into his junior year.
