the steady UNI guard with real floor-general juice
RJ Taylor is a 5-foot-11 guard for UNI who entered 2025-26 on the MVC Preseason Watchlist after showing promising efficiency before a season-ending Achilles injury in 2024-25. In the 2024-25 season, he appeared in 8 games, started all 8, and averaged 7.5 points in 21.4 minutes, while also posting 17 assists and 12 steals—nice little signs of a scrappy, disruptive table-setter[1][3]. Coaches and local coverage describe him as a pace-pusher who gets teammates open, which makes him a strong fit for teams wanting a tough, unselfish guard who can organize the offense and bring edge without needing the spotlight[1][9].
