[autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag] served as the hero for arguably the biggest moment of the season when LSU knocked off Alabama in overtime. Taylor was on the receiving end of the two-point conversion that ended the game.
So, what is it like going from being a senior in high school and being the proverbial big fish in a small pond to being a freshman starting tight end in the SEC?
Taylor sat down for an interview with Barstool Sports’ Bussin’ with the Boys, where he discussed how he had to grow up quickly and adapt to his new normal.
“The first wake-up call to college was probably after the first game. I’ve gotten so many hate comments and DMs. My phone was blowing up,” Taylor said. “That was my big wake-up and welcome to college football. Just a bunch of people talking s*** about you or whatever.”
Taylor now sets his sights on his sophomore year, and he says he still has a bone to pick with the Florida State Seminoles after the way the Tigers lost to start last season.
