Ben Taylor brings size, pedigree, and upside to Northwestern State’s QB room
Ben Taylor is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound sophomore QB for Northwestern State in the 2026 season, and his most visible edge is his track record as a high-output passer before college, with 3,291 yards and 36 touchdowns in his 2024 high school season while completing 74.2% of his throws. His appeal is not just the stat line: he was a highly regarded Louisiana recruit, showed real command as a distributor, and entered Northwestern State as a developmental piece with conference honor-roll recognition and a redshirt year, which suggests a patient, team-first path. If you want a cleaner, accurate rhythm passer with room to grow, he’s worth watching.
