Brandon Taylor, a 6-foot-1, 290-pound defensive tackle, from Miami, Florida verbally committed to Purdue after visiting over the weekend despite seeing the Boilermakers lose 6-17 to the Minnesota Gophers. When asked about the Boiler's loss, Taylor responded, "It really didn't bother me, because I saw they were playing really hard," Taylor said. "What I really liked was that the coach wasn't really hard on them, but he still motivated them." Brandon Taylor likes the coaches here at Purdue, especially Danny Hope, who will take over for Joe Tiller next season. "It went pretty well. I think he's a good guy," Taylor said about his meeting with Danny Hope. "I felt comfortable being around him. And I'm confident he's going to take this team to the next level." Brandon Taylor is one of eight players to verbally commit to play for the Boilermakers next year.
Brandon Taylor is the son of Lawrence Taylor who was a hall of fame linebacker for the New York Giants. Taylor has been under pressure all his life to play well since he is the son of a star football player. Taylor has started the past 2 years at his high school playing defensive tackle and offensive guard, and he has done remarkably well. In just 6 games, he has recorded 40 tackles and 7 sacks. Taylor hopefully will be a key addition to the Boilers football team next year who will make many plays for the defense.
