Taylor Malenfant brings veteran special-teams grit to Northern Arizona
Taylor Malenfant’s NAU profile shows a proven, multi-year contributor who earned second-team All-Big Sky special-teams honors in 2012 after starting on all four Lumberjack special-teams units, which screams reliability and toughness. His earlier NAU bio also notes he was a four-year starter, two-time captain, and all-state defensive back in high school, with added value as a punt returner and track athlete[1][2]. For a team that wants a disciplined, high-effort defender/special-teams piece rather than a stat-padding headline act, he looks like the kind of glue guy coaches trust when the game gets chaotic[1][2].
