Ted Taylor brings JUCO-tested linebacker toughness and special-teams value to Syracuse
Ted Taylor’s value is built on reliability and physicality: as a Syracuse linebacker, he logged 43 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks across 24 games, with 35 of those stops coming solo, and he also handled special-teams work[1][3]. In 2016, he played all 12 games and started the final three at strong-side linebacker, while his junior-college debut at Dodge City featured 10 solo tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, and a pass breakup—signs of an aggressive, assignment-sound defender who can help a roster immediately[1][11].
