Jayden Taylor: West Point's Breakout Back
Jayden Taylor's 4.3 40-yard dash time at the 2025 Mississippi High School Combine left no doubt about his elite speed. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back from West Point High School's Green Wave program has taken his game to the next level, becoming the first player from his school to earn a Power 4 offer. Taylor's impressive showing at the combine caught the attention of college scouts, who are now closely monitoring his progress. As a junior, Taylor rushed for 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns, earning him 5A All-State honors. With his speed and elusiveness, Taylor is poised to be one of the top running backs in the state this season. College scouts will be watching to see how Taylor adapts to a more prominent role in the Green Wave's offense and if he can build on his impressive junior campaign. Will Taylor be able to lead his team to a state championship and cement his status as one of the top prospects in the state?
