Bridgeport Indians Safety Hunter Taylor Impresses in First Season
Bridgeport Indians safety Hunter Taylor recorded 105 tackles in just eight games last season, including a 12-tackle performance against Lincoln County. The Class of 2026 standout transferred to West Virginia from a neighboring state, where he played in a WVSSAC 5A classification. Taylor's impressive debut season has earned him a starting role for the Indians, who compete in the AA classification within the WVSSAC. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound senior has drawn praise for his instincts and ability to read the opposing team's offense. Taylor's transition to the WVSSAC has been seamless, as he has adapted quickly to the region's defensive schemes. As the Indians prepare for the upcoming season, scouts are watching for Taylor's ability to make plays in the secondary and his potential to be a game-changer on special teams. With his size, speed and tackling ability, Taylor is a player to watch in the AA classification this fall.
