Dakota Taylor brings upside as a big-bodied, developing Kent State tight end
In the 2025 season, Dakota Taylor appeared in 9 games for Kent State and finished with 1 catch for 6 yards, but the real story is his trajectory: the Akron native is a 6-4, 230-pound redshirt sophomore who was described by Kent State as a strong, athletic tight end who can run well and has added about 25 pounds since arriving. He was a high-school “match-up nightmare,” and that blend of size, speed, and room to grow makes him an intriguing fit if a team wants upside more than finished product.
