West Linn Lions CB Malik Taylor Enters Transfer Portal
West Linn Lions junior cornerback Malik Taylor has entered the transfer portal, citing family relocation as the reason for his potential departure. Taylor's decision comes as a blow to the 6A program, which is already thin at the cornerback position. His absence would significantly impact the Lions' defensive depth, particularly in the secondary. According to sources, Taylor is being recruited by several top programs in California and Washington, including De La Salle and Bellevue. The 6-foot, 170-pound Taylor was a key contributor to the Lions' secondary last season, recording 42 tackles and 12 pass breakups. His departure would not only affect the team's on-field performance but also impact their recruiting efforts for the 2027 class.
