Taylor wanted to stay close to home to play college football, but received no scholarship offers from Texas schools. Not one. Former Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes came close to offering, but no dice. Taylor's high school coach, Wayne LeBleu, wondered if Taylor might be interested in playing for TCU. Taylor distinctly recalls LeBleu talking to the Horned Frogs' coaching staff on his behalf.
This was during the early 1990s, long before Gary Patterson put a charge into the Horned Frogs' program.
