    Taylor is an all-county quarterback who threw just one interception in 138 attempts as a senior and is part of Troy State's first Division I-A football recruiting class. His arm strength translates well to the mound, and he had a breakout performance at the 2000 East Coast Showcase. He has a projectable frame at 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds, and he already throws 89-92 mph with a long, loose arm action. He also owns a promising slider. Taylor looked like a potential first-round pick last August, but he has been a bit up and down this spring and won't go quite that high.
