Standing underneath the new football facility, Demetrius Taylor made a vulnerable point. The Appalachian State defensive end could point to a handful of reasons for why he decided to stay in Boone for one more season. But a big one came to mind. "There's a lot of stuff piling on top of you," Taylor said. "I had gained weight. Mentally, I wasn't here." There were plenty of reasons why. Off the field ahead of the 2020 season, Taylor encountered major life moments, both good and bad: His mother died unexpe ctedly in April 2020, and two months later he welcomed twin sons into the world. Then a COVID-19 quarantine resulted in no type of football warmup, making him play catchup for the first half of the season.So when the Mountaineers finished their 9- 3 season, and Taylor considered which way to go with his life, he felt like he deserved a chance at one more college season with a healthy mind and body. "Learning about the process, going into the NFL, you've got training and this and that," Taylor said . "I just wouldn't have been able to do it. So I say they blessed us with the COVID year because it's a sign you could come back or if you think it's time to go, then go. But obviously for me, it was a sign for me to come back because I played all four y ears. I didn't have a redshirt year." - Winston-Salem Journal

Taylor's next big play was an interception that he tipped to himself and returned 19 yards to set up another Mountaineer score that put the Black and Gold ahead 20-7.
