Raiders' Jordan Taylor: Breaking Down Barriers, Earning Respect
Cretin-Derham Hall Raiders' junior running back Jordan Taylor made a statement in his inaugural season with the 5A team, rushing for 1,234 yards on 193 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per tote. The transfer from out-of-state Ohio, where he played for St. Edward High School, quickly earned the starting role and became a workhorse for the Raiders. Taylor's impressive performance caught the attention of both his coaches and opponents, who were forced to adapt to his elusive style. With a strong summer camp and preseason preparation, Taylor is poised to take his game to the next level. As he enters his second season in Minnesota, scouts will be watching to see how he adapts to the MSHSL's 11-man format, particularly in terms of his ability to block and pick up blitzes. Can Taylor maintain his impressive production and help lead the Raiders to a successful season?
