His visit to Oxford stood out in a big way that helped seal his decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a community here,\u201d Taylor told On3. \u201cJust walking around, just meeting people out there in the square, the coaches been great, accepting. Handshakes everywhere. It\u2019s just been a great all-around visit so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With his conversations with running backs coach Kevin Smith, head coach Lane Kiffin and others, he saw the vision for himself. He\u2019ll have one year of eligibility remaining at Ole Miss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely feel like I fit the offense pretty well,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI complement them in the schemes they want to run and their visions, and to compliment the other players in my position group, and in the offense as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been showing me how my skill sets will fit the offense so well and how I can complement each other and just how I can be a piece of this team that can take us to the next level as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor got to watch the scrimmage and saw the Rebels look the part as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team definitely looked good.
