Freshman LB Mike Taylor brings frame, tackling volume, and upside to Sacramento State
Mike Taylor is a 2025 freshman linebacker at Sacramento State who arrived from East St. Louis HS after posting 66 tackles in 11 games and at least four stops in every game, a steady, high-floor profile that hints at reliable instincts and consistency. He’s listed at 6-foot-3 and 187 pounds, so the appeal is his length, range, and developmental ceiling more than finished polish; in 2025, he logged 3 total tackles for the Hornets. If you want an ascending defender with special-teams utility, effort, and long-term upside, Taylor is a name worth tracking.
