Muhammad Wilkerson is not your typical MAC defensive lineman.
Wilkerson is a third-year junior who entered the draft as an underclassman. He’s four years out of high school because he went to a prep school for a year. In high school, he was not considered a top prospect. In fact, he may have been a better basketball player, thus the year in prep school. After a year at Hargrove Military Academy he became a 3-star recruit.

Taylor is a huge man (6-3 and 334 pounds) with long arms (34) and adequate speed for a big guy (5.14). He is more quick than fast and is able to get off the ball very quickly. While he has good instincts and is quick to find the ball, he is more of a disruptor than a playmaker. Still he totaled 62 tackles on the season. What Taylor is excellent at is occupying blocks. He can consistently take on a double team and hold the point. Because of his power he often gets penetration disrupting plays and forcing backs to change direction. He has quick hands and good hand use and the power to just push off blockers
