Taylor has been extremely active on the visit trail this Spring, and that included a camp stop in Blacksburg on Sunday, after which he picked up the offer. There are a few SEC schools on the list already (Kentucky, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt), but the programs he's visited the most have not hopped on board yet. If and when Arkansas or Oklahoma offers, the Hokies will have had to build up a solid rapport to remain in the hunt. Offering now allows them to do just that, and with a long way to go before Signing Day 2026, they're on top of things at this early stage.

A natural guard with upper-body power that comes easily to him, Taylor projects as a guy who will continue to shape his frame over the next few years and get stronger and more precise with his technique. He can be a little heavy-footed in protection and moving laterally when he has to make adjustments on the fly (and like most young players, he can stop his feet on contact, though in Taylor's case that's often accompanied by pancaking the opponent), but the way he's able to execute zone blocks indicates that it's more likely just an experience issue and with more reps and conditioning he has all the tools to develop into a great interior player.
