Forrest Taylor gives Samford a steady leg, but the 2024 numbers were still a work in progress
In the 2024 season, Samford kicker Forrest Taylor handled most of the Bulldogs’ place-kicking duties, finishing 2-for-6 on field goals and 13-for-14 on PATs while scoring 19 points.[3][4] His value is less about gaudy volume and more about reliability on extra points and enough leg to connect from 31 and 29 yards in a key win over VMI in 2024.[3][12] At 5-foot-8, 165 pounds, he profiles as a compact, specialist-style kicker who can help if your team wants a dependable PAT/short-range option, though the field-goal consistency still needs polish.[2][7]
