Rashad Taylor brings proven tackling chops and downhill linebacker upside to Norfolk State
Rashad Taylor is a 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker from South Fort Myers who arrives at Norfolk State with a nasty résumé: 147 tackles as a senior in high school, plus 101 tackles and 28 tackles for loss as a junior. That production screams pursuit speed, contact balance, and a willingness to live in the backfield—exactly the kind of tone-setter coaches love. As of 2026, he is listed on Norfolk State’s roster as a redshirt freshman, so the key question is how quickly that production translates to the college game.
