The 6'3", 235-lb Inside LB Who Went From QB to FCS Title Game Force
Cole Taylor is a budding star for Montana State, a rare 6-foot-3, 235-pound inside linebacker who transitioned from being Great Falls CMR's AA quarterback to a starting LB after playing all 16 games as a reserve and special teams ace in 2024 with 10 tackles [2][4]. His differentiator is elite size-speed versatility: he forces fumbles, delivers red-zone interceptions, and matches up physically against bigger runners while covering like a former signal-caller [2][9][10]. Taylor's intensity is palpable—he's described as 'BobcatBuilt,' with a fight and class that carried Montana State to the FCS title game [6][7]. No major injury history is noted; his personality blends excitement, gratitude, and relentless competitiveness [5]. For teams seeking a high-intensity, big-bodied LB with coverage savvy and special teams value, Taylor is an ideal fit who can grow into a multi-year starter.
