Taylor won the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back this season, becoming only the second player to win one of college football’s major awards, joining Chad Hennings, who won the 1987 Outland Trophy. Taylor also won the Defender of the Nation Award for his efforts on and off the field. He was a first-team All-American by AFCA, the first Falcon since 2010 to earn first-team honors, and a third-team All-America by Associated Press. The first Falcon to earn AP honors since Weston Steelhammer in 2016. He’s also the first Air Force secondary player ever drafted.
