DJ Taylor brings disruptive edge-setting and steady production to Western Illinois
In the 2024 season, Western Illinois DE DJ Taylor played in 7 games with 4 starts, posting 17 total tackles, 7 solo stops, 10 assists, 1 sack, and 1 pass deflection—useful production from a 6-foot-4, 230-pound edge defender who already has an “active” profile and was listed as a junior/senior in 2025 updates. Taylor’s value is more than the box score: he looks like a classic keep-the-edge, chase-the-ball, pressure-the-QB type with enough length and snap-to-snap effort to matter. If you need a dependable rotational DE with some bite, he’s worth a look.
