'They develop players': 2028 WR Amarion Taylor talks Utah offer
· Yahoo Sports
The class of 2028 Tulare Western (California) wide receiver Amarion Taylor is coming off a big sophomore season.
At 6-foot-3 and around 188 pounds, Taylor already has the size Utah likes on the outside. He caught 69 passes for 1,177 yards and 10 touchdowns last season after putting up more than 500 yards as a freshman.

Now the Utes are in the picture.
“The Utah offer was a really special moment for me,” Taylor told me. “When the Utah staff told me they wanted to offer me, I was extremely grateful and excited. It was a great feeling knowing all the work I’ve put in was being recognized by a Power Four program.”
Utah has Taylor’s attention, now the Utes have to build on it.
Taylor already likes what he knows about the program.
“I really like the culture, the way they develop players, and how they compete,” Taylor said. “For me, it’s about continuing to build relationships with the coaches, seeing how they develop receivers, and finding out if Utah is the right fit for me both on and off the field.”
Development is a big part of this recruitment. Taylor is only heading into his junior season, but he has already shown he can produce. He has the size, athleticism and production that make him an intriguing prospect, and his recruitment still has plenty of room to grow over the next year.
For Utah, getting him to Salt Lake City feels like the next real step.
Taylor has not been to campus yet, but he wants to change that.
“Definitely,” Taylor said. “I’d like to get out there and experience the campus and the football environment for myself. I want to see how the players interact with each other, learn more about the program, the academics, and really get a feel for what it would be like to be a student-athlete there.”
That would give Utah a chance to show Taylor a lot of the things he is looking for.
He wants relationships. He wants development. He wants to see what the culture actually looks like when he gets around the players and coaches. Taylor is not looking to rush his recruitment.
“I’m not trying to rush the process,” Taylor said. “I want to take my time, build relationships with the coaches, visit schools, and make sure I’m making the right decision.”
“If I feel like I know where I want to be earlier, I’m not against narrowing things down, but right now I’m just enjoying the process.”
That makes sense.
Taylor made it pretty clear the Utes are a school he wants to keep looking at.
“Utah is definitely a school I’m very interested in,” Taylor said. “The offer means a lot to me, and I really like what they’re building there.”
“I’m still keeping an open mind and getting to know all the schools recruiting me, but Utah is definitely one I’m going to continue looking closely at.”
Utah still has work to do here.
The relationship with Bumphis is just getting started, Taylor still needs to see Salt Lake City for himself, and his recruitment has a long way to go.
But the interest is there.
Now the next step is building the relationship and getting Taylor on campus.
