  OCT 25 SUN BELT FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Demetrius Taylor, App State,(Super Sr., DL – Miami, Fla.),...App State super senior defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor accumulated a season-high four tackles-including 3.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks-as the Mountaineers handed No. 14/16 Coastal Carolina its first loss of the season, 30-27. The Miami, Fla., native's eight-yard sack early in the fourth quarter helped keep the Chanticleers off the scoreboard with the game tied at 27-27. Taylor headlined a Mountaineer defensive unit that held Coastal Carolina to a season-low in points (27), rushing yards (55) and total yards (346). - Sun Belt Football

  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 unexpectedly 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 years. I didn't have a redshirt year." - Winston-Salem Journal

  SEPT 23/WEEK 4 SUN BELT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Demetrius Taylor, Appalachian State (Jr., DL, Miami, Fla.),...Appalachian State junior defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor had a career performance in the Mountaineers' 34-31 win at UNC, totaling a career-high 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles, while scoring his first career touchdown and snagging his first career interception. He's the first FBS player since at least 2000 with 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble return for a touchdown and an interception in the same game.

Taylor was a force in the Tar Heel backfield all game long, starting with his first-quarter strip sack that he located, scooped and returned 20-yards for a touchdown. That gave App State its first lead of the game (13-7) that it would never relinquish. 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. In addition to those two takeaways, he forced another fumble on second strip sack and broke up a pass at the line of scrimmage. - Sun Belt Football
