Two Mountaineers have officially added their names to the NFL ranks.
Former App State defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor made the official 53-man roster for the Detroit Lions Tuesday after signing as an undrafted free agent in April.
Taylor had a strong training camp and pre-season for Detroit according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, which allowed him on the initial roster before the beginning of the regular season. In his lone pre-season appearance, Taylor posted two total tackles along with several plays getting after the opposing team’s quarterback.
Taylor finished his App State career with 137 total tackles, 26.
