Kentucky’s Tallest Defender is Prepared for a Breakout Year

“Never. He’s the first. But you know what, for a guy with unusual height like Calvin Taylor, he does a pretty good job man. He’s probably the most consistent guy we got,” LeBlanc said. “At first I thought we were going to make him an offensive lineman, but he’s shown to prove he can play on defense, so it’s good to have him.”

Since the midway point of last season, Taylor has proved he’s more than just a big body. He recorded a career-high six tackles against Mississippi State. In the Music City Bowl, his first start, he recorded three tackles and a sack.
