When Khameron Taylor signed as a graduate transfer to play tight end at Indiana last week, one of the first texts he sent was to his former high school football coach. Bill Wiles, Taylor's coach at Santa Fe High School in Alachua, Florida, saw potential in the then 6-foot-4, 250-pound Taylor from the moment he convinced the high school basketball standout to give football a try. "I told him, I understand you might want to be LeBron James," said Wiles, now the head coach at nearby Trenton High. "But you also, you might be Gronk, you know? So give it a shot." Sings of becoming an NFL All-Pro tight end like Rob Gronkowski weren't apparent initially. Taylor didn't take to football right away - the demanding workouts in the Florida humidity, the conditionin g, lifting weights. There were days, Taylor admitted, that Wiles had to pick him up to convince him to practice.But Division I South Alabama took a chance on Taylor, based on his size and upside. At first, the school thought Taylor could develop i nto a rangy offensive tackle. Instead, Taylor stuck as a 270-pound run-blocking tight end in South Alabama's balanced offense. After catching his first career TD pass last season against Nebraska, Taylor is now out to prove he can evolve into a complete tight end with the Hoosiers. "When I got to college, I could see what I could really do, the player I could become and what I could become in the future and provide for family," Taylor said. "It kind of pushed me, pushed me to grow and it just made me th ink it's bigger than me. I've got an opportunity to do something great, so why not give it my all." - Herald Bulletin

Just look at the numbers, and Khameron Taylor's profile screams "blocking tight end." Indiana's graduate transfer from South Alabama is currently listed at 6-foot-4, 270 pounds. Throwing the ball wasn't necessarily a staple of the Jaguars' offense, eithe r, as their passing leader had 900 yards in 2019. Taylor accounted for 18 of those yards receiving - on just two grabs. While Taylor's willingness to be that blocking tight end helps him fit right in with a Hoosier offense that's trying to better establi sh the run, don't let his current profile fully shape the conversation. He may be just 15 pounds shy of the lighter end of the offensive line spectrum. But Taylor thinks removing 15 pounds may be his best route toward making an impact in his final colleg iate season. "I think I just need the opportunity," Taylor said. "I didn't at South (Alabama) get to run a lot of routes...I'm gonna make the most of the play when it comes my way. "I could play at 260, I could play at 270, but 255 is where I feel the fa stest, where I feel good." - Indianapolis Star/News

The Indiana Hoosiers added graduate transfer Khameron Taylor to their football roster, they announced Wednesday. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound tight end from South Alabama provides experience and depth behind incumbent starter Peyton Hendershot. Taylor will be eligible to play immediately after graduating earlier this month with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. "Other than Peyton, we have a young group that needs some depth," coach Tom Allen said in a statement. "Kham is a big, strong blocker with untap ped potential in the pass game. He has a great combination of size, length and athleticism that immediately helps us become a better football team." Taylor started nine games last season for the Jaguars and caught two passes for 18 yards and one touchdow n. In 2018, he caught five passes for 67 yards. He played high school football in Florida. - AP College Football
