Taylor told Rivals that he believes in head coach Matt Rhule and his vision for the future of the program.
“I want to bring Nebraska back. Everybody says that, but they always have their different reasons. To bring Nebraska back, you have to win. The biggest thing is the culture. It’s a blue-chip school, everybody knows about it, everybody knows about the ‘90’s, let’s make it relevant in the 2000’s. Coach Rhule has given me a great lead off to that race, I just have to run with it.”
Taylor is one of eight recruits committed to the class of 2027. The class of 2027 is ranked No. 14 in the nation and No. 4 in the Big Ten Conference according to Rivals.
