Minnesota Football Recruiting: The legend of Darius Taylor

PJ Fleck and staff have 2 kids from the state of Michigan in the 2023 recruiting class. They happen to be teammates Drew Viotto and Darius Taylor who are leading the Walled Lake Western Warriors to an undefeated season. Viotto is the quarterback of this 2023 class and Taylor is a running back.

Viotto is a former Eastern Michigan commit who Kirk Ciarrocca watched live, liked, offered and Viotto committed to the Gophers. This staff tends to bring in just 1 quarterback in each recruiting class and Viotto is your 2023 QB. He is a 6’4”, pro-style quarterback and is having a very good season leading the Warriors to a 5-0 start and are currently ranked #3 in Michigan’s division 3.
