Tony Taylor Commits To The Naval Academy
Tony Taylor III made his commitment on Never Had It So Good sports radio on his birthday on Friday, August 15th. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound offensive lineman went with Navy and sent a text to GoMids.com saying he was "elated" to have committed. Taylor expanded more on his decision after a scrimmage at Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, Ga.
"I believe that the U.S. Naval Academy gives me the best opportunity to serve my country, first and foremost," Taylor said. "Also it provides me with a chance to study Mechanical Engineering, the major I'd like to pursue. I love the football program. I thinks it unsung in many ways. People tend to look over it, but if you look at the facts, they win, and I want to be a part of it.
His five finalist were Virginia Tech, Air Force, Bucknell, Navy, and Cincinnati.
"My Navy offer came in May and I went up for a summer seminar in June where I was able to live as a plebe for a week. It gave me a real taste of what it's going to be like with the benefits to the hardships we'll face, the overall ups and downs. During the visit, I became more confident that this is really what I want to do.
"My summer trip was my fourth to Annapolis. Coach Nuimatalolo wasn't there, but I met when I was there in February. I was able to spend some time with Coach Ingram and Coach Magee. At camp last summer I got to work with Coach Ingram. I'm very confident in his ability. He's not just the offensive line coach, he's also the running game coordinator. I think he's an effective coach. I'm in good hands."
In addition to Taylor's top five schools, he also had offers from Furman, Georgia State, and Georgia Southern. He projects at offensive tackle but said Navy did not specify between tackle or guard. He says he plays both tackle and guard positions at Wesleyan and also rotates in on the defensive line.
Wesleyan, an independent school located in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area, competes in Georgia AA Region 6.

Evan Wilson Is Now A Dolphin
Discovered this young man yesterday through a family member, Trellis Crawford. He has been picked up by the Miami Dolphins. Much luck to him. Had a brief moment to speak to his Mother. Wonderful disposition she had, and very well spoken. In one word....(Sharp).
I also had a chance to watch some film on Mr. Wilson. Great size; comes off the ball well; admittedly by him he likes to see the play develop a little bit for taking off; great hands also. He could be a very good red zone option for the Dolphins. I hope he gets the opportunity to touch the ball in the next three preseason games and make the team. "#finsup," as he said in his tweet.

Megatron....Best Receiver In NFL?
The question of who is the best WR in the NFL is asked all the time? There are a lot of them out there with a lot of production. But, who is more revered right now than Megetron himself, Calvin Johnson at his position. When I saw this young man at Ga Tech I knew he would be a force at the next level. Hands, speed, and very good football IQ. Who would you draft over him in your Fantasy Football Team? Andre Johnson, Desean Jackson, Reggie Wayne, Wes Welker, Jimmy Graham?
If I have the first pick when it comes to my Fantasy Draft I may just look his way. Of course I could go Peyton Manning or Tom Brady for instant points. But, if Matt Stafford can stay healthy this season Megatron is a strong #1 option in fantasy and in the real life NFL!
