GBMWolverine Football Spring Evaluations: Position-by-Position — Player Profile.

GBMWolverine readers: Here is a brief overview of Raymon Taylor and GBMWolverine’s analysis concerning his progress this spring in our opinion.

Note: We will not evaluate every player on the team and with this position group (Cornerbacks) we will not evaluate #38 Al Backey. If you would like to chat about this player bring them up on the message board or send us an e-mail request.

Reminder: Also noted that we didn’t attend every practice and realize things happen during those fifteen practices, but our evaluations are based on what we seen first hand and in our opinion and not what we hear like just about every other site out there that relies on second, third hand information to make their evaluations of the players during the spring.

Losing from 2011 (Team #132) on scholarship: #17 Tony Anderson and #29 Troy Woolfolk.

Coming in for 2012 (Team #133) on scholarship: Terry Richardson.

Commit for 2013 (Team #134) on scholarship: Jourdan Lewis, Gareon Conley, and Channing Stribling.

Raymon Taylor, in the view of the GBMWolverine Staff, is the second best athlete amongst the defensive backs. As a recruit, he was listed by some services not as a defensive back but as an athlete.

Raymon shows excellent movement skills and will put a hit on you, as we saw this spring up close and personal.

If he ever puts it all together and learns the nuances of the cornerback position, he has the ability to be a very good player, now and in the future of this Michigan’s defense.

Raymon seems to have taken a big step forward from last season. This spring he really looked good, in part due to an opportunity to get more reps with other players either out or injured.

We believe Raymon could see some playing time on defense this season, but he could see plenty of special team assignment and could make a real impact in 2012 with his speed and athleticism.

He could be the type of player that could really excel this season and be a player that a lot of people will want to see more on the field as time goes on. The key is to combine the above average athleticism with an understanding of the defense and clear evidence in practice of good performance. This could happen.
