Matt Campbell will have to pay up if he wants to bring redshirt freshman cornerback Quentin Taylor Jr. with him to Penn State.
Injuries forced Quentin Taylor Jr. into a full-time role for the Iowa State secondary, and it turns out the redshirt freshman was up to the task. After playing in just two games in 2024, the former three-star recruit emerged as a key piece of Matt Campbell and defensive coordinator Jon Heacock’s secondary, finishing the season with 27 tackles and five pass breakups.
