James Taylor brings burst, range, and sticky coverage to Davidson’s secondary
James Taylor looks like a classic defensive-back fit for a team that wants speed and movement skills on the back end: one reliable scouting source lists him with a 4.56-second 40 and a 4.37 shuttle, signs of the kind of short-area quickness that helps a DB survive in space[1]. The big caveat is that publicly available 2026 college-football stat lines are thin, so the strongest read is from his measurable traits rather than a pile of box-score production[1][2]. If a staff wants an athlete with recovery speed, change-of-direction juice, and upside in coverage and special teams, Taylor is the kind of “glue guy with wheels” who can earn snaps fast[1].
