Radford Bobcat signs

Jaylin Taylor of the Radford Bobcats football team has signed to play football at Ferrum College. Taylor will first enter basic training to serve his nation, five days after he graduates. He will then enroll at Ferrum in January 2020. Taylor was used in the secondary and at linebacker at times for this past year’s Bobcat team that went 12-2 and make it to the state semifinals. They lost that game to eventual state champions Graham G-men. He was noted for his jarring hits, the last couple years for the Radford defense.

This was a good team effort with six different kids scoring. We up 1-0 there in the bottom of third and we got back -to- back triples, scored twice and that was big for us.”
