Kent State’s committed 2026 defensive tackle with college-ready size
Taylor is a **6-2, 260-pound** Class of 2026 defensive tackle from Saint Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) who has already pledged to Kent State, giving the Flashes a physical interior prospect with clear college frame and positional fit. His value is in the trench package: size, leverage potential, and the kind of build that projects to holding up against run-heavy fronts while developing pass-rush polish. The biggest differentiator is his immediate schematic fit as a true DL body rather than a developmental tweener, which makes him a sensible pickup for a program looking for sturdy line depth and upside.
