FIU LB Josiah Taylor brings a proven tackle magnet profile and early FBS depth value
Josiah Taylor is a **high-volume, physical linebacker** for FIU, backed by a striking high school résumé of **414 total tackles, 290 solo stops, 35 TFLs and 3.5 sacks**, which points to a player who consistently finds the ball and finishes plays. FIU lists him on its 2026 roster, and EA Sports College Football 26 rates him **68 overall** as a Will Backer, suggesting developmental upside rather than finished-product star power. He should appeal to teams that value effort, range and reliability over flash, though he’s still more of a role player to watch than a headline-maker right now.[3][1]
