An Indianapolis, Indiana native, Taylor was named “Mr. Football” in the state of Indiana in 2017 as a quarterback at Ben Davis High School. As a senior, he led his team to a perfect 14-0 record and a state title with 215 completed passes for 3,150 yards and 40 touchdowns.
He was a two-time First-Team All-State quarterback high school, but Taylor wouldn’t continue playing the position at the next level. After landing at Indiana University, Taylor played three positions in his freshman campaign, spending time at cornerback, running back and wide receiver. As a sophomore, he’d make the permanent switch to cornerback during spring practices.
