Michigan Extends Offer to Eastside Catholic DE Austin Taylor
The University of Michigan has extended a scholarship offer to Austin Taylor, a 2025 defensive end from Eastside Catholic High School in Bellevue, Washington. Taylor, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound prospect, has been making waves this offseason with his impressive showing at a recent football camp, where he recorded a 4.8-second 40-yard dash and 32-inch vertical jump. The 3A Crusaders' standout has already received offers from Oregon State and Washington State, and is also being courted by Boise State and Utah. Taylor's recruitment is expected to heat up in the coming months, with a decision likely to be made by the end of the summer. He has stated that he will take official visits to Michigan and Oregon State in August, with a commitment potentially coming soon after.
