Recruiting Battle to Watch

An interesting battle to keep an eye on in the coming months is the recruitment of QB Duce Taylor of North Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Taylor has offers from Akron, CMU, EMU, and Toledo, as well as offers from Alcorn State and Illinois State. He showed what he can do at the Midwest Exposure Skill Camp on July 2, and his Hudl film shows a passer with a very high ceiling. If Taylor’s able to clean up his footwork and put together a strong 2020 season, he’ll end up being a good QB for somebody.
