Reminds Us Of

Chris Olave

Ohio StateOhio State · HS Class of 2018
New Orleans2022 Draft · Rnd 1 · Pick 11

Talyn Taylor's refined and well-rounded technical skills along with his dimensions remind us of Chris Olave. Olave was a big senior riser who ended up being highly athletic at the NFL Combine. Taylor is a plus athlete, but would need to add top end speed in college to run in the same range as Olave.

Talyn Taylor Scouting Summary
Charles Power
07/25/24

Arguably the most technically skilled wide receiver prospect in the 2025 cycle with a high-end combination of route-running and ball skills. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, 175 pounds with arms in the 31.5 to 32-inch range prior to his senior season. A naturally coordinated, functional athlete. Has outstanding change of direction and projects as a dangerous route-runner. Very good burst off the line of scrimmage. Shifts gears at a high level. Hits the brakes and gets corners off balance. Lethal on comeback routes and double moves. Has elite pace in his routes and with the ball in his hands. Shows strong hands at the catch point. Comes down with impressive high-point grabs in the 7-on-7 setting. Good feel for finding openings against zone coverage. Crafty after the catch, slipping and spinning out of tackles.Exploded as a senior, turning in one of the best individual seasons nationally at the position. Doubled his yardage per game from his junior season. Finished with over 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading his team to the 6A state title game. A standout in neutral settings - camps and 7-on-7. Shows a competitive play personality. Physical and competitive as a blocker, playing hard even if the ball doesn’t come his way. Offers inside-out versatility with his skill set. Needs to continue developing physically adding mass to his frame and continuing to improve his top end speed. The high level of skill and elite production makes him one of the top receivers in the 2025 cycle and a prospect with a high floor at the college and potentially NFL level.

Personal Life

Talyn Taylor looks to his mother, Venus, for inspiration. His mother is a college softball coach, and she pushed him early on to reach for his dreams. “I want to win national championships,” Taylor told the Chicago Tribune when describing what he learned from his mother. “I want to win the Heisman. I want to have high goals for myself. To be the best you have to play with the best.” His mother said those goals are all obtainable. “There’s nothing you want more than to see your kid’s dreams come true," Taylor said. "He’s had dreams and goals since he was little that we helped nurture. It was purely his talent that got him recognized. You go shoot your shot. You go to the place you dream of. He knows he has to work and that level won’t be easy, but he’s been dealing with pressure and continuing to take those steps. And that’s what you have to do.” Despite missing some of the 2023 season with an injury, Taylor finished with 512 yards receiving and seven total touchdowns.
