Wilmington's Akeem Taylor: Junior Guard Dominates Boards with 5 RPG as D2 Rebounding Machine
Akeem Taylor Jr., the 6'3" guard from Chester, PA, lit up the 2025-26 season for Wilmington University (NCAA D2), averaging 11.1 PPG (5th on team), 5.0 RPG (2nd on team), 1.6 APG, 1.8 SPG, and 1.0 BPG across 24 games—ranking 24th in conference rebounds and 9th in blocks. His high school pedigree (14.4 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 3.9 BPG senior year) shines through in rebounding tenacity and defensive versatility rare for a guard, making double-digits in 15 games. Fearless scorer with playmaking vision; ideal mid-major fit for teams needing gritty, multi-faceted wings who crash boards and lock up opponents.
