Daniel Taylor brings veteran burst and versatility to Northwestern State’s backfield
Daniel Taylor has shown he can be a dependable, multi-use runner for Northwestern State, with earlier-season production that included 143 rushing attempts for 670 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus 34 catches for 245 yards in the 2025 season. He fits best as a physical, experienced back who can handle volume and contribute as a receiver out of the backfield, giving an offense flexibility on money downs. The main question is ceiling, but the appeal is clear: steady, useful, and the kind of back coaches trust when the game gets ugly.
