Bill Taylor of Tuscaloosa (Ala.) American Christian, a long snapper recently offered by Auburn, has committed to the Tigers.The 6-feet-4, 235-pound Taylor is the No. 2-ranked long snapper nationally by Kohl's Kicking."They offered me right after camp yesterday (Sunday) and I came home, told my parents and made the decision this morning (Monday)," Taylor said. "I visited a lot of colleges this summer and after seeing everywhere and talking to my parents, Auburn just felt like the right choice. I feel at home there. The coaching staff really made me feel wanted."Taylor also visited the Tigers in February.Besides Auburn, he claimed offers from Memphis and Samford. Interest also came from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville, Missouri, and North Carolina.Of Taylor, Kohl's Kicking wrote this on its website:"During the Winter Southern Showcase, Bill put on a show with his talents. He scored on every one of his long snaps but also achieved an average snap time of .64 seconds. Not only is Bill the most explosive 2017 snapper, he is one of the largest and most athletic. He is 6-feet-4 and weighs 235 pounds. His current abilities and frame make Bill one of the best snappers in the country. He attended the Underclassman Challenge and scored on 8 of his 10 long snaps with an average snap time of .63 seconds. He recently followed that up with another solid performance at the Spring Southern Showcase. Bill is already one of the best snappers in the country but what makes him special is he hasn't reached his full potential yet."
