The Dallas school district has built a healthy reputation for churning out FBS talent. Two-way lineman Draven Taylor (Dallas/Adamson) is looking to continue that trend, but he’s also on a mission to help turn things around at his school.
Adamson traditionally hasn’t been a producer of top talent, but the 6-foot-2, 285-pound lineman has caught the eye of several schools and has offers from Louisiana-Monroe and Incarnate Word. Taylor additionally has looks from Kansas, North Texas, Navy, Cornell, Yale and Central Arkansas.
“I know that Adamson really doesn’t have many players recruited,” Taylor said, “but coming in my freshman year, I knew I could change that if I worked hard. My former coach said I had the chance to get to college if I worked every single day, so basically, day in and day out, that’s what I did. I play with a lot of heart. Sometimes, it’s heart over talent. That’s what my coaches always tell me.”
