The 6-foot-5, 210-pounder chose the Commodores over offers from Tennessee-Martin, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northern Illinois and others.

Taylor led Jackson to the Class 4A state semifinals this year and was named Class 4A Back of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

As a senior, Taylor completed 180-of-286 passes for 3,405 yards and 40 touchdowns. He also rushed for 613 yards and 10 touchdowns.

He is the 27th member of Vanderbilt’s 2022 recruiting class, which ranks No. 35 nationally and and No. 14 in the SEC, according to the On3 Consensus Recruiting Rankings. Walter Taylor is Vandy’s third quarterback in this year’s crop, joining three-stars AJ Swann and Drew Dickey.
