Iowa Football Offer Excites Talyn Taylor
Hawkeyes 1st In for '25 IL WR
Prep football players across the country dream of landing a Power 5 scholarship sometime during their high school careers. Talyn Taylor can say he has one before he begins his sophomore year.
The Class of 2025 receiver from Geneva (IL) Community landed a full-ride opportunity from Iowa Football Saturday while camping with the Hawkeyes. It represented his first scholarship offer.
“It felt amazing getting my first D-1 offer, especially at a young age,” he told HF.
The Iowa coaches saw potential in Taylor.
“They said I have great talent for how young I am and that I will be a great person and player as I start to mature more and get older,” he said.
Taylor (6-0, 165) appreciated the tutoring he received at the Hawkeye camp.
“I loved the Iowa coaching staff. They helped and guided me through the camp very well, and (receivers) coach (Kelton) Copeland gave me some tips that I needed to work on at the receiver position,” Taylor said.
The recruiting process is just starting for Taylor. He looks forward to finding out more about Iowa.
“I want to learn more about the school and how that works, not just the athletic part but also the academic part of Iowa,” he said.
Taylor is participating in the North Central College Mega Camp Tuesday and Wednesday in Naperville, Ill. He’s scheduled for camps at Michigan and Michigan State next week.
Wisconsin played host to Taylor for a game last season.
