Levonta Taylor

Levonta Taylor is an absolute dog in the FSU secondary and the former No.1 overall cornerback five-star recruit came into his own last season.

Taylor was among one of the best cornerbacks in the ACC Conference while boasting one of the best receptions allowed percentage to opposing wide receivers in 2017.

He’s vocal and plays with a swagger while also playing much bigger than his 5’10 frame.

Like Wilson, he has clout as a former five-star recruit and the track record from the last two seasons to demand respect from his teammates.

Taylor will likely start at the field cornerback position and look for him to have another great season as he can opt for the NFL draft in 2019 if he decides to do so.
