Taylor held offers from Georgia, Tennessee, and Auburn. The JUCO product was hosted by Caleb Banks during his official visit in Gainesville. Taylor accumulated 39 total tackles, two sacks, 9.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in 13 appearances with Blinn College.
Quotable: “They seem real family-oriented, that’s what I like,” Taylor said on his official visit to Florida. “It isn’t just about football; they’re going to make sure you’re prepared for life as a man. They’re the number one public school.”
“He did a real good,” Taylor said of Mike Peterson recruiting him. “He’s a real good dude, he wants to make sure I know that I can come in and work. He said we will take it one step at a time. I’m an every-down player.”
