Wisconsin’s tackling machine with Big Ten pedigree
In the 2011 season, Mike Taylor was a tone-setting linebacker for Wisconsin, leading the Big Ten with 150 tackles and ranking third nationally, while adding impact plays like 7 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 2 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors. He fit the Badgers’ identity perfectly: physical, instinctive, and relentless in traffic. If you want a defender who diagnoses fast, finishes hard, and brings legit game-to-game consistency, Taylor is the kind of linebacker coaches trust when the hits start flying.
