Darius Taylor, Jesuit LB, Weighs Transfer Portal Option Amid Academic Opportunity
Jesuit Crusaders junior linebacker Darius Taylor is reportedly considering a transfer to a new school due to an academic opportunity. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Taylor is a key component of the Crusaders' defense, where position scarcity is a concern. With Taylor's departure, Jesuit would likely struggle to replace his production, particularly in the run-stopping department. Taylor's versatility and athleticism make him an attractive prospect for college programs. According to sources, Taylor has received interest from several top programs in Oregon and California, including Oregon State, Oregon, and Stanford. The Beavers and Ducks, in particular, could benefit from Taylor's skills, as they look to bolster their linebacker corps ahead of the 2026 season.
