Kole Taylor — TE — 3-star

6-foot-7/228 lbs — Grand Junction, CO — No. 16 ranked TE

Arik Gilbert is going to be the guy at tight end for LSU. He’s a rare talent that will be a star in the SEC and probably a star in the NFL.

But don’t let the presence of Gilbert make you forget about Kole Taylor, a very good tight end that LSU signed in their 2020 recruiting class.

Taylor is 6-foot-7 and runs a 4.62 forty. He also has a 32 inch vertical leap. That’s impressive athleticism for that size.

The Colorado native has good hands and adjusts well to badly thrown balls. He could be used in some interesting offensive alignments with Gilbert to create some massive mismatches for the Tigers.
