Quavon Taylor Commits to South Florida

One of the more overlooked prospects in the country may be Quavon Taylor out of Miami Northwestern. Because he played with half a dozen blue chippers and because he is vastly undersized to play OLB in Division I football, he didn't really get a whole lot of attention from the big boys.

The 6 foot 180 pound Taylor did get attention from USF though, and plans on being a Bull next season. His career should be of interest to Canes fans, because unlike his teammates I don't believe he was offered a scholarship to Miami. Granted, he is pretty small and I don't know if his frame allows for much growth, but if he were to gain 40 pounds in college, he would be a potential playmaker for any defense.

An up and coming program like USF can afford to play him and hope he grows into his role. Hopefully Coach Shannon's decision not to bring him in won't backfire in the future. Best of luck to Quavon.
