Damon Taylor brings compact power and upside to Utah Tech’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Damon Taylor was mostly a projection piece for Utah Tech, seeing time in the season finale without recording a stat, but his profile still pops: a 6-foot, 205-pound sophomore with a strong high-school résumé, including 1,263 rushing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 8 100-yard games as a senior. Utah Tech’s staff described him as part of a freshman RB group with “exceptional skills,” which hints at upside, not just depth. He looks like a physical, downhill runner who could fit a team wanting size, toughness, and long-term growth.
