An intense competitor, Oologah 2019 defensive back Jared Taylor is putting together a big senior season and has helped lead the Mustangs to a strong second half of the 2018 season.
At 6’0, 190-pounds, Taylor plays with a big motor, and flies to the ball regardless of where the action is happening on the field.
Despite a slow start that saw Oologah drop its first three games out of the gate, the Mustangs have now won three of its last four games and are 3-1 in district play, including a win over No. 1 ranked Wagoner during that stretch.
“I feel like I’ve had a stellar year so far and so has my team,” Taylor said.
Taylor says he attended several camps over the summer, including Pittsburg State, Emporia State, Missouri Southern, NSU and Tulsa.
“These camps were fun and gave me a great opportunity to showcase my ability,” he says. “What I have improved on the offseason is my footwork and quickness.”
Taylor says the schools that are currently showing him the most interest are I like Emporia State, Pittsburg State and Northeastern State.
