Former Belton star Taylor surfaces with Rio Grande Valley arena team
Two years after his last organized football game, former Belton and University of Texas star Ramonce Taylor will return to the gridiron.
Taylor was one of eight players the arenafootball2 league office assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Dorados’ training camp roster. The Dorados, an af2 team based in Hidalgo that went 7-9 last season and 16-2 the year before, begin their sixth season in March.
Taylor hasn’t appeared in a game since participating in the Texas vs. The Nation college all-star game on Feb. 2, 2007.
The multi-talented Belton product rushed for school records of 4,010 yards and 62 touchdowns during a three-year career with the Tigers before signing a scholarship with Texas.
In 2005, his second season with the Longhorns, he totaled a team-high 1,219 all-purpose yards and scored 15 TDs, including one in Texas’ national championship victory over Southern California in the Rose Bowl.
But academic issues and an arrest in May of ’06 for possession of marijuana ended Taylor’s days in Austin. He enrolled at NAIA’s Texas College but never was cleared to play. He pleaded guilty to the marijuana charge in September of ’06 and was sentenced to five months in state jail early last year for probation violations.
The 23-year-old Taylor will battle for a roster spot with the Dorados, who last month were assigned former
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter.
