Willie Taggart is a college football coach, but received an honor for his playing days

Willie Taggart might be Florida State's head coach, but he was also an electric player at Western Kentucky.

The Hilltopppers, who are celebrating their 100th season this year, announced their All-Century Team last week.

And Taggart, who played quarterback from 1995 through 1998, made the cut when WKU announced its special teams/all-purpose player on Friday.

Taggart starred at Manatee High in Bradenton, Florida, following another former Hurricanes great, Tommie Frazier, who later became a Nebraska legend. Taggart's college football path wasn't his dream school of Florida State, where he is now the head coach, but WKU to play for Jack Harbaugh.
