Texas A&M G Wade Taylor IV receives invite to Damian Lillard’s Formula Zero Elite Camp

Texas A&M guard Wade Taylor IV was recently named a college counselor for the 2023 Formula Zero Elite Camp, an organization led by seven-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard.

One of Texas A&M’s men’s basketball leaders has received a prestigious invite from a seven-time NBA All-Star.

Last week, it was announced that Aggie men’s basketball guard Wade Taylor IV had been named a college counselor for the 2023 Formula Zero Elite Camp, which sends just 20 total collegiate invites across the country. Formula Zero is an organization led by Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard, focusing on helping individuals grow both on & off the court.

Formed in tandem with Boise State men’s basketball coach Phil Beckner, the community exists to help mold basketball players in their pursuit of being their true, authentic selves with a passion for making real change. Beckner is a highly-regarded player developer, having worked closely with Lillard while at Weber State and preparing him to be the sixth overall selection in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Receiving an invite is of the utmost privilege and speaks to how Taylor embodies the principles of Texas A&M, both on and off the court. The incoming junior guard is coming off a highly-successful season, averaging 16.3 points, 3.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in 28.7 minutes per game of action.

After helping lead the Aggies to a 25-10 record (15-3 SEC), Taylor was named to both the 2023 SEC All-Tournament Team and 2023 All-SEC First Team, as well as being honored as a unanimous First-Team AP All-American.

Now as he steps into his third year in Aggieland, Taylor will be called upon as a veteran leader to help this team reach its full potential. Texas A&M has already been positioned in many preseason top 25 rankings, and as head coach Buzz Williams recently echoed, the expectation for this team is both an SEC title and a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Taylor will nonetheless be at the forefront of helping the Aggies reach those pursuits.

The Formula Zero Elite Camp will run in Phoenix, Arizona, from Aug. 16 to Aug. 19. Taylor will be joined by 19 other top college counselors and 20 of the top high school players in the country.
