Trae Taylor still has to play his senior season of high school football for Millard South High School in Omaha, Nebraska.
There is already an expectation that Taylor will be a star at the college level, though. At least the rankings are predicting it is possible.
Taylor has been committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers since May, but he’s had quite a big summer even after that moment.
He’s been looking great on the camp circuit, and he was even named the MVP of the Elite 11 Finals by Rivals.
Speaking of Rivals, the long-standing recruiting service recently awarded Taylor a fifth star. When he committed to Nebraska, he was technically a 4-star recruit.
It was everything Taylor showed this summer that impressed evaluators, though.
“We had a chance to see a majority of these top quarterbacks in the 2027 cycle in person this offseason. I think it’s safe to say that no quarterback had a stronger offseason than Trae Taylor,” said Rivals’ Scouting and Rankings Director Charles Power. “He looked like one of the top arm talents in the cycle at the Elite 11 Finals, where he was the Rivals MVP. He showed the ability to push the ball to every level of the field with a ton of velocity.”
