Prior to this past season, Harrison Taggart played wide receiver his first two years at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah.
But the 6-foot-2, 205-pounder switched positions as a junior in 2020, moving to linebacker, and had a monster season as a result – posting 140 tackles, including 10 for loss and five sacks, along with three interceptions.
Taggart, who also runs track and recorded a time of 10.7 in the 100 meters this spring, sees himself as a hybrid linebacker/safety type like former Clemson star Isaiah Simmons or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah from Notre Dame.
“My game at linebacker is very versatile,” he said.
