a proven, disruptive linebacker with a nose for the ball
Christon Taylor has already shown he can be a difference-maker for North Alabama: in the 2017 season, he earned GSC Defensive Freshman of the Year honors after posting 67 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. At his best, he plays with downhill urgency, range, and playmaking instincts that translate beyond basic tackle totals. That kind of turnover juice and backfield disruption is exactly what coaches love in a linebacker, and it suggests a player who can elevate a defense when healthy and locked in.
