Appalachian State's 2019 Sun Belt Forced Fumble King Now Thriving in CFL
Demetrius Taylor, the 6-2, 230-pound Appalachian State DL who led the Sun Belt Conference with 3 forced fumbles in the 2019 season—highlighted by a legendary sack, forced fumble, and TD return at UNC—showcased explosive disruption and one-man wrecking crew intensity during his 2017-2021 college tenure. His relentless motor and knack for game-changing plays make him a disruptive force, though a full 2025 CFL suspension adds caution. Ideal for teams needing high-energy interior pressure; post-college Lions stint proved his pro potential despite modest PFF grades.
