01/02/23 - P Tory Taylor, Sr/2024, Iowa

Tory Taylor has been called the most valuable player on Iowa's football roster at times. Without a doubt, he certainly is the program's "MVP" - most valuable punter - since Reggie Roby in the early 1980s. Taylor was already a popular Hawkeye with his punting exploits. And now, he'll be even more beloved by his fans. Taylor has decided to return for his senior year and put off NFL dreams for another year. "Even though the time was probably right to leave, I will be coming back next year," Taylor said Saturday after Iowa's 21-0 win against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. "Just really looking forward to it. It's going to be a special year."

Already 25 years old, Taylor gave serious thought to making the jump to a professional career. He said Saturday that he was "85/15" or "80/20" a month ago that he would probably go to the NFL. But he was excited by incoming quarterback Cade McNamara and the chance to be a part of a successful Hawkeye team for one more year. The affable Australian also has learned that there are maybe one to three open punting slots a year at the NFL level. Even with someone of his pedigree, there's no guarantee that he would be on an NFL gameday roster nine months from now. "I really think this team can go far, and I want to be a part of it," Taylor said. "There's a couple things I want to tweak with my game. ...From a specialists point of view, there's not going to be anyone better than myself, (long snapper) Luke (Elkin) and (kicker) Drew (Stevens). So I'm really looking forward to that." - Iowa City Press-Citizen
