Five-star Isaac Taylor-Stuart talks Texas A&M coaching change

Isaac Taylor-Stuart is one of the top cornerbacks nationally and his recruitment continues to stay wide open.

The San Diego (Calif.) Helix two-way standout who led his team to a state regional title last weekend has closely watched the coaching turnover at Texas A&M as well.

He recently had a great in-home visit with assistant coach Jeff Banks in recent days but the five-star cornerback admitted he doesn’t know all that much about new Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher.

The Aggies are certainly not eliminated from contention but Taylor-Stuart had developed a great relationship with former coach Kevin Sumlin, who was fired late last month, and was up front about his feelings.

Getting to know more about Fisher in the coming weeks will be crucial if the Aggies want to stay in this one.

“I don’t really know too much about (Fisher),” Taylor-Stuart said. “I never really talked to him to be honest. But I wish coach Sumlin stayed.”

Another factor that could be playing against Texas A&M as Taylor-Stuart’s recruitment continues is that four-star defensive back Leon O’Neal recently de-committed from the Aggies.

Taylor-Stuart and O’Neal, among other Texas A&M commits, struck up a friendship during the summer camp circuit and it could have been helpful to Taylor-Stuart to have O'Neal in College Station.

As for other visits, the five-star cornerback is expected to visit Georgia this weekend followed by a trip to Alabama the weekend of Dec. 15.

USC is also considered a frontrunner in his recruitment. The Trojans have been recruiting Taylor-Stuart for a long while and he’s been to campus multiple times including a recent trip to The Coliseum for a game.
