Highly recruited defensive tackle Eric Taylor is looking to visit Arkansas because of former teammate and safety Myles Mason being in Fayetteville. He updated his recruitment on Recruiting Thursday.
Taylor, 6-5, 285 pounds, 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Hewitt-Trussville High School in Alabama has offers from schools like Arkansas, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn and South Carolina. ESPN rates him a 4-star recruit, No. 27 defensive tackle and No. 289 overall prospect in the nation for the 2020 class.
Three things he looks for during a college visit:
"I would say the campus, the area and ....I guess if my mom likes the college."
People thinking he's a lock to stay in-state:
"I'm really thinking about going anywhere at this point. I say I would like to stay close, but I don't mind going a couple states away."
