Don’t worry, nobody got Kellen’s hallowed number just yet. Much like high-rises that go from floor 10 to 12, we’re just out here filling day #11 with jersey #10 like the sports blog professionals we are. Say hello to one of our newest quarterbacks - Taylen Green
#11 (10), Taylen Green, Freshman, QB

How’d he get to the Blue™?
A dual-threat QB, Taylen started getting some buzz in spring 2020, with a smattering of Sun Belt, MWC and MAC schools tag-teaming offers. Boise State waited until Wyoming offered, then swooped in for the nab. Taylen proclaimed BSU was a “dream school” and the rest was history.
Nickname
“Jolly Green Giant”
Dude’s huge. He’s also the school record holder in long jump at Lewisville HS.
Look-a-like

Career Highlights
Highschool highlights are what they are, but Texas does it different. Check these eye-poppers out:
2021 Prospectus
Taylen has been getting some decent buzz for a freshman QB stepping into a presumably 2-way QB battle that didn’t involve him. Head Coach Andy Avalos went so far as to say that Taylen “is now able to operate and run the majority of the playbook.” For a school that used to be loathe to start freshmen at QB, Taylen was breathing some rarified air.
With the announcement that Hank is taking the start against UCF, Taylen may be 3rd or 4th string on paper, but if recent history is any indicator, his knowledge of the playbook is going to come in handy beyond helping call in plays from the sideline.
Is he on Twitter?
That’s a roger, Roger. @taylengreen17
Completely made up fact
Taylen is a huge Taylor Swift fan, so much so that he was nicknamed Taylen Swift in highschool.
