Freshman RB with Explosive 6.7 YPC and New Orleans Grit
Norman Taylor, a 5'10", 181-lb freshman RB from New Orleans for Mississippi Valley State, stands out with a **6.7 yards-per-carry average** and a **37-yard long rush** in his debut season, showcasing elite burst and vision despite limited volume [1][4]. While the Delta Devils struggled (1-8 in 2025), Taylor's **32 yards on six carries** against Jackson State proved he can thrive against top-tier SWAC defense [5]. His **New Orleans background** suggests high-intensity play and resilience, and his active status with no reported injury history makes him a low-risk, high-upside fit for teams needing a change-of-pace back with big-play potential [1][4]. He's a must-watch for scouts seeking raw talent with room to grow.
