Impact Taylor underwent surgery on his left ankle following a breakout freshman season in which he tossed for 629 yards, five touchdowns and one interceptions while rushing for 458 yards and eight scores. He immediately looked like an extremely capable dual-threat quarterback in the SEC, and is one of the more exciting returning players in the conference.
