Taylor is a true freshmen for the Hokies and earned the starting QB position after his first NCAA action in the September 8, 2007 game agaist the LSU Tigers. In that game Taylor completed 7 of 18 passes for a total of 62 yards. Taylor also rushed for 44 yards on 9 attempts including one touchdown. Taylor lead the team in both passing and rushing.

Life Before Entering the Collegiate Ranks
Taylor was born in Hampton, Virginia to Rodney and Trina Taylor. Taylor led Hampton High School to a 34-4 record during his three years as a starter. He acummulated 7,912 yards of offense and threw for 48 touchdowns as a Crabber. Taylor is an efficient passer and a pocket quarterback first and foremost. However, he has excellent speed as well and open-field moves that can make defenders look silly. When all things fail, Taylor can still make things happen.
