UM sprinter Brandon Taylor giving football a go this spring

[HurricaneUWW]

Get this kid returning kicks now now now

So sick of berries and Lewis back there. It's a wasted opportunity for field position and points with pedestrian returners

Fully agree. Those guys may be sure handed but they were almost zero threat for coverage units. They needed blocking to do anything, couldn't create on their own. This guy just needs a crack and destroys angles. As long as he can make the catch, make him the full-time KR/PR and trick play guy on O.

That speed will translate well on the football field in college. See jahkeem grant for Texas tech receiver now dolphins receivers/special team returner. About the same size.

Exactly who I thought of. Get Dugans on him he'll be polished enough to male an impact as a receiver and as a return man he can be a terror. Big addition

Why not? Roscoe Parrish was an excellent player and return man, and only a little bigger.

Sweet baby Jesus.... That's some real football speed right there.

 

[Unsider]

Love his stop n' go ability, but mostly his vision of his lanes. He's so fluid. Not sure his physique matters, makes up other ways.

 

[tsimonitis]

Does he have Olympic speed? If not, then might as well buy into football.

 

[AllbouttheU]

Miami should never have a Malcolm Lewis or Gus Edwards type returning kicks. Let this cat come in just for that.

Reminds me of tyreek hill

haven't heard that name in a while. (that's back when Bill Buchaulter used to cover the state in recruiting)

I'm sold just from that pic

He was making angles disappear. Need his speed/elusiveness in the return game

This is the kind of kid you nickname Lil Big

 

[umhurricane2511]

Can he play football?

Tough kid? "Savage"? Or will he cry if he gets touched too hard

 

[PinesCane305]

We can use the speed on offense and special teams every year! I'll take all athletes thank you!!

 

[Vanderhooooov]

The way he turns to corner in those highlights is insane. Unreal speed

 

[wacane]

Good lord. He's gonna make the team

He took good angles by the D and turned them into a joke. You just don't see that every day.

Pass...desperate post

Reminds me of little dude from LSU

Trindon Holiday...

Tell him to get Isaiah Taylor from the track team to come. Faster and was injuried last year.

Faster?
Really?
Also, I can't find any HS highlights on him.
Did you watch him play?
