Noah Taylor Commits to Kansas State
La Cueva Bears running back Noah Taylor has committed to Kansas State University, the school announced Wednesday. Taylor, a 6A Class of 2025 standout, chose the Wildcats over other Power Five offers from Arizona State and New Mexico. Kansas State's scheme, which emphasizes a strong running game, aligns with Taylor's skillset and playing style. The Wildcats' depth chart at running back is currently thin, providing Taylor with an opportunity to contribute immediately. Additionally, Kansas State's academic program, which offers a strong engineering department, aligns with Taylor's academic interests. Taylor previously committed to New Mexico in 2023 but decommitted after the Lobos' coaching change. Taylor's commitment to Kansas State is a significant pickup for the Wildcats, who are looking to build on a strong 2025 recruiting class.
