Darnell Taylor has been named the Katfans.com Player of the Week for Week 3. While the main focus after the game was the Kats’ dominating running tandem of Richard Sincere and Tim Flanders, it was Darnell Taylor’s explosiveness on the defensive side that held the #18 team in the nation to only 10 points. Taylor, a junior from Mesquite, Texas finished the UCA game with 11 tackles, including 1 tackle for loss.
Darnell Taylor isn’t the only play on the roster from Mesquite, Texas. He also isn’t the only player with the last named Taylor on the roster from Mesquite, Texas. Darnell’s brother, Darius Taylor led the linebacking core for the Bearkats with 8 tackles of his own, and a 6 yard sack. The Taylor brothers were the Bearkat’s two leading tacklers this past Saturday.
Darnell Taylor was also awarded the Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against UCA. Taylor leads a Bearkat Defense that ranks second in rush defense, seventh in total defense, and third in points allowed.
The Bearkats return to the gridiron on Saturday, September 24, 2011 as they face off against the University of New Mexico Lobos in Albuquerque, NM. Game time is scheduled for 4:00 pm (MT), with live updates available from Katfans.com and on Twitter @Katfansdotcom
