Taylor’s commitment represents something of a streak for Smart and Co., as he is the third player in as many days to commit to the Bulldogs. Todd Robinson, a three-star running back from Valdosta High School, committed to Georgia on Monday. The day prior, Christian Garrett of Prince Avenue Christian School committed as well.
Here’s what you need to know of Taylor, including his recruiting ranking from 247 on On3, his high school stats and how he affects Georgia football’s 2025 recruiting class rankings:
Talyn Taylor recruit ranking
Taylor is considered a top-100 recruit in both 247Sports’ Composite rankings and via On3’s recruiting site, though he ranks considerably higher in the latter (21 positions higher). Both recruiting services list him as a top-10 receiver and the No. 3 overall player from the state of Illinois.
Talyn Taylor stats
According to 247Sports’ recruiting bio of Taylor, the 6-1, 175-pound receiver missed a significant portion of the 2023 high school football season on Illinois due to injury. However, as noted by 247, he returned to the quarterfinals of the Illinois 6A playoffs, catching 32 passes for 512 yards and six touchdowns. He also threw for 150 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for another.
In 2022, Taylor, then a sophomore, finished with 51 catches for 745 yards and eight scores.
