The son of a pair of track and field athletes, Kennie Taylor has followed in his parents’ footsteps, excelling athletically. As a high school player, he never hit worse than .344, hitting .344/.410/.484 as a sophomore, .348/.461/.620 as a junior, and .429/.505/.667 as a senior for Jesuit High School in his native Tampa. A follow of interest at the time, he had a verbal commitment to attend Duke University, and went undrafted a result.
