Class of 2024 athlete Evan Taylor picked up his first Power Five offer last week with Rutgers football officially getting involved with the North Carolina athlete.
Taylor is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound athlete from Cuthbertson High School (Waxhaw, NC). Versatile in that he plays on both sides of the ball, Taylor had 38 catches for 528 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games played last season.
In two seasons as a defensive back, he has 31 total tackles with five interceptions.
Taylor is a bit under-recruited. So far this month, Taylor has been offered by Florida Atlantic, Brown, Ohio and Charlotte. In March, he was offered by East Carolina.
He tweeted about the Rutgers football offer on May 17, tagging Rutgers head coach [autotag]Greg Schiano[/autotag] and cornerbacks coach Mark Orphey:
