Ball-hawking safety who can flip a game with one play
In 2025, Taylen Blaylock stood out for Furman as an impact safety with playmaking range, highlighted by a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown in his first start and a week-one SoCon Defensive Player of the Week honor. He brings proven ball skills, discipline in key moments, and some versatility from prior stops, with career production that includes multiple interceptions, pass breakups, and consistent tackling. For a team, he looks like a smart fit if you want a back-end defender who can create momentum-shifting turnovers and make the clutch stop when the game tightens up.
