Jake Taylor brings veteran heft and captain energy to Iowa State’s rebuilt offensive line
In the 2026 season, Jake Taylor arrives at Iowa State as a 6-foot-6, 310-pound redshirt junior and team captain with starter-level experience from Oklahoma, but his biggest storyline is durability after injuries limited him in 2024 and kept him out in 2025. The upside is real: reliable tackle size, a nasty streak, and leadership that coaches say brings stability to a young line. If you need a proven, physical anchor with high-end pedigree and edge, Taylor is a strong fit—provided his health finally cooperates.
