Taylor: Bigger, Stronger, Faster
Posted Aug 10, 2006
Since joining the Tar Heels, Hilee Taylor has shown potential for becoming a feared pass rusher for the school that produced two of the finest ever – Lawrence Taylor and Julius Peppers. But injuries and difficulty keeping on weight have slowed his progress. Now, he may be ready to prove what he’s capable of at UNC. Taylor said he’s up to 245 pounds now without losing any of the speed that made him one of the state’s most highly-coveted prospects out of Scotland County.
