According to Tom Allen, true freshman and 2017 Indiana Mr. Football Reese Taylor will be moving from defensive back to quarterback.
Taylor threw for 3,122 yards and 40 touchdowns and also ran for 764 yards and 14 scores as a senior at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis; leading the Giants to the Class 6A state championship. While his pedigree as a quarterback is strong, Taylor was recruited to IU as an athlete and split time between defensive back and wide receiver in the spring.
Allen isn't wavering from Reese Taylor seeing significant snaps as he had said before the QB news, will be a QB but will be used as expected.
