veteran Northwestern tackle with position-flex value and steady-line grit
Desmond Taylor is best known as a versatile, veteran offensive lineman who played both guard and tackle at Northwestern, giving him real value for a coach who wants lineup flexibility and reliability. In his Northwestern career, he appeared in 37 games with 20 starts, and the 2009 season notes show he was trusted in key spots despite missing time with a shoulder injury. His differentiators are adaptability, experience, and a reputation as one of the line’s better athletes rather than pure size alone—traits that usually translate to consistency, coach trust, and dependable depth.
