Versatile Redhawks DB with special-teams juice and steady reliability
In the 2024 season, Dony'e Taylor was a senior defensive back for Southeast Missouri State, listed at 6'1" and 202 pounds, and the Redhawks’ own preview described him as a top candidate at strong safety after he played every game and made 12 tackles in 2024. Coaches also said in 2021 that he could become a special player, with the versatility to help on special teams and in the secondary. Why care? He looks like the kind of durable, coachable DB who brings value beyond the box score, with physicality, positional flexibility, and a team-first profile.
