A potential future UCLA playmaker made an acrobatic catch at the Rivals Combine Series.
Tayln Taylor, a four-star wide receiver recruit from Geneva, Illinois, took part in the Rivals camp over the weekend. A chance for players to showcase their skills and boost their recruiting profile, Taylor made the most of his opportunity. Making a spinning and toe-tapping catch in the end zone, Taylor turned some heads with his impressive body control, catching ability, and boundary awareness.
In the mix for Taylor are the UCLA Bruins, Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Georgia Bulldogs, and Ohio State Buckeyes.
Certainly, tough competition for the Bruins to compete with, but lately, the Bruins have made aggressive offers to players and righted some of their past recruiting wrongs.

Though it may seem odd for the Bruins to be in a recruiting battle with such talented and attractive programs, the Bruins remain confident that they can attract some of the best players in the nation.
If UCLA continues to pursue recruits like this, their aggressiveness could pay off by locking in some big-name players like Taylor landing in Westwood.
