AJ Taylor brings JUCO-tested physicality and depth to Ball State’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Ball State DB AJ Taylor logged 11 tackles and a pass breakup across six games, after a 2022 JUCO season at Iowa Western where he started every game, earned second-team all-conference honors, and added 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, and 4 pass breakups. He looks like a sturdy, experienced defensive back who can compete in coverage and isn’t shy about contact; the knock is that his Ball State production has been more complementary than headline-grabbing. If a team wants a seasoned, versatile DB with grit and special-teams/value-upside flavor, he’s an intriguing fit.
