Colorado Buffaloes Most Important Players: #8 Davion Taylor

One position the Colorado Buffaloes could use another playmaker at next season is at linebacker, and a player who could help that cause in defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot’s second season is Davion Taylor.

The four-star athlete transferred from Coahoma C.C. (Clarksdale, Miss.) as the top outside linebacker and ninth overall JUCO prospect in the nation. Taylor has yet to step on the football field for a game in a Buffs uniform, but is already drawing attention with a top 100-meter dash time of 10.51 — the fastest time at CU in five years — that earned him All-Pac-12 track and field honors.
