A month after receiving a visit from a West Virginia coach, 2026 offensive line recruit D’Nilyeon Taylor will be in Morgantown for a full weekend experience with the WVU football staff.

The 6-foot-5, 295-pound Taylor is on West Virginia’s radar due to his size and athleticism. Rich Rodriguez’s staff sent Taylor an offer on April 12 to confirm their continued interest since he was initially being recruited by the Neal Brow’s staff.

Taylor has played on both the right and left side as both a tackle and a guard, granted most recruiting services view him as a tackle at the college level. He’s also a three-sport athlete at Westerville North High School.

Taylor is rated as a three-star prospect by 247 Sports and holds offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Miami (OH), Ohio, Toledo, UMass, USF and Western Michigan among others.

So far, Taylor also has an official visit booked with Buffalo for later in June.
