[edit] High school career

Taylor played at Franklin High School in Seattle, Washington.

[edit] College career

Taylor's All-American selection in 1925 was all the more spectacular because he was born without a left hand. He was one of the first African-American football players for the USC Trojans and played offensive guard.

[edit] Personal

Taylor was a descendant of Tecumseh. He became a minister and teacher after college. He also taught tennis [1]. He died in 1974 in Downey, California. He was inducted into the USC Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995.
