Georgia WR signee Talyn Taylor finishes as 5-star in On3 Rankings
Georgia has their five-star wide receiver. Bulldogs’ 2025 signee Talyn Taylor has earned his fifth star in the latest On3 Rankings released on Thursday.
Taylor is ranked as the No. 27 overall prospect in the On3 Rankings. Taylor is coming off a strong senior season. He then got in front of evaluators in San Antonio during the Navy All-American Bowl earlier this month.
On3’s final rankings features 32 five-stars. Taylor is the first Georgia wide receiver signee to enter college as a five-star prospect since George Pickens in the class of 2019.
Taylor is already on campus in Athens looking to have an early impact.
Talyn Taylor’s Scouting Report
On3’s Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power broke down Taylor’s skillset.
Arguably the most technically skilled wide receiver prospect in the 2025 cycle with a high-end combination of route-running and ball skills. Measured at 6-foot-0.5, 175 pounds with arms in the 31.5 to 32-inch range prior to his senior season. A naturally coordinated, functional athlete. Has outstanding change of direction and projects as a dangerous route-runner.
Very good burst off the line of scrimmage. Shifts gears at a high level. Hits the brakes and gets corners off balance. Lethal on comeback routes and double moves. Has elite pace in his routes and with the ball in his hands. Shows strong hands at the catch point. Comes down with impressive high-point grabs in the 7-on-7 setting. Good feel for finding openings against zone coverage. Crafty after the catch, slipping and spinning out of tackles.Exploded as a senior, turning in one of the best individual seasons nationally at the position. Doubled his yardage per game from his junior season.
Finished with over 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading his team to the 6A state title game. A standout in neutral settings – camps and 7-on-7. Shows a competitive play personality. Physical and competitive as a blocker, playing hard even if the ball doesn’t come his way. Offers inside-out versatility with his skill set. Needs to continue developing physically adding mass to his frame and continuing to improve his top end speed. The high level of skill and elite production makes him one of the top receivers in the 2025 cycle and a prospect with a high floor at the college and potentially NFL level.
Drawing lofty comparisons
Reminds us of
Chris Olave
Talyn Taylor’s refined and well-rounded technical skills along with his dimensions remind us of Chris Olave. Olave was a big senior riser who ended up being highly athletic at the NFL Combine. Taylor is a plus athlete, but would need to add top end speed in college to run in the same range as Olave.
