He’d also been considering Tennessee and Alabama. He’s USC’s big cornerback commit of NSD, after five-star Olaijah Griffin earlier.
“Best player to come out of San Diego in a decade: you think that’s legit?” I asked Taylor-Stuart at an Opening regional camp in Los Angeles earlier in 2017.

His early 0.9844 score on the 247Sports Composite rankings gives him the highest grade of any recruit ever billed from the city of San Diego.

He also ran track as a freshman and sophomore, and hopes to return some kicks and punts in college. He’s got the physical tools to be dangerous there.
