Ivan Taylor knows how an NFL defensive back carries himself, being the son of former Pittsburgh Steeler defensive back and Super Bowl Champion, Ike Taylor.

Ivan is one of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s freshmen early enrollees, and he is currently going through spring practice with the Tide. The Florida product is a former four-star recruit.
