Gabe Taylor

[Ghostcane]

This is a fantastic move and kudos to him for getting into a school with top notch academics. He'll be able to make a great life for himself with a Rice degree.

Interesting to see what type of player he becomes. Returned 6 for TD's this year which is crazy. Rice is a great place for him.

Crazy that Rice came down here and got 2 kids.

Great move by Taylor and Rice’s recruiting map expanding under Bloomgren. Getting back into Louisiana like they did in the mid-2000s too.

Bumping because this is a great article on GT26 and I'm not creating another thread since we have a search feature.
They are already calling Gabe a ballhawk and big hitter as a 5'10" 180 lb true freshman.

He was too busy trying to be a hooper. He would've been at least a 4 star if he played football all 4 years.

 

[FreePawn]

Can't help but root for this kid. His brother was easily the most talented football player I have ever seen. Would have been all pro at CB, S, LB, DE, WR, RB or TE.

Hopefully he can ball out and we get him as a grad transfer down the road. Which is likely as we never have enough cbs due to recruiting anyway

Word... it sucks with the 25 ICs cap that u can’t take players like Gabe that are going to be projects and need a couple years with Feeley and aren’t top prospects that most staffs want to use up their 25 for. Hopefully things work out and he does transfer to da U down the road like u said.

 

[Tee3000]

We should’ve offered him..I stand by that.

If he shows he can play corner and has the requisite athleticism he should transfer here now with the one time transfer rule

 

[3FW]

10 picks 5 for TDs in 12 games at a school like Gulliver. From the article 2 things stood out.

1. The DC Community idolizes his brother.
2. The Rice coaches think Gabe will end up being a big time player at Rice.

Too much pressure here. We made the right call and so did he.

Screwed up how? Who is he better than at the position on Miami?

The dude wearing #26 for starters

For real, isn’t this the class that had Chaney and Knighton???

Different position. Wasn’t he a RB???

No he’s a safety. And we took Keyshawn Washington that year. We are stacked at Safety so not really adamant about this one.
