Zachary Taylor hasn’t played an official Wisconsin Badgers football game yet but already, he is making a positive impact to the team.
Badgers Wire reported that the Class of 2026 safety’s commitment to the team has pushed them higher in the national ranking.

“His addition pushes the class to 12 total commitments. That group now ranks No. 35 nationally and No. 12 in the Big Ten — those marks up from No. 40 and No. 14, respectively.”
Taylor, who hails from Katy Jordan is a three-star recruit who is ranked ranked 540 in America. He is also 43rd overall in the state of Texas.
He is described by 247 Sports as a versatile safety.
Knows how to crowd the catch window. Ideally would increase impact playmaking ability in regards to ball production on the stat sheet. Boasts significant snaps at corner and safety and could potentially serve as a chameleon in a college secondary. Projects to the high-major level and could possibly develop into a pro prospect.
