DT Demetrius Taylor
Starting with Demetrius Taylor, the Stallions are beefing up the defensive line. One of their greatest strengths in 2024 was this very unit, and now they’re getting even better with the addition of Taylor.
Demetrius played his college football at Appalachian State, dominating as a Mountaineer. He finished his career with 137 tackles, 26 sacks, and an interception. Across his last three seasons, he earned First-Team All-Sun Belt honors.
