Houston RB following lead
With his former teammates departing for two Big 12 schools, Madison running back Corey Taylor could follow either of their leads.
Madison linebacker Donnell Williams graduated early and is off to Oklahoma State while offensive lineman Pat Turner will be hitting the fields of Kansas State this summer. Could the 6-foot, 185-pound running back end up following is Madison's brothers?

"I wouldn't mind playing with those guys again," Taylor said. "Both of those schools are recruiting me hard right now, sending me handwritten letters and stuff. I loved running behind Big Pat last year also.
"I am going to look around a little bit and visit a few campuses, but if I feel comfortable at one school and the want me, I'll jump on it," he said.
Taylor split the backfield last year with a senior teammate but is anxious to have it all to himself as a senior.
"I wanted it last year, but I shared time," he said. "I'd like to get the ball at least 20 times a game and rush for over 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns. I'm durable and like to run over people."
While he's bullish on the ponderosa, Taylor is an explosive track star. Recruited to Madison for his track prowess, he runs all of the sprint relays and will participate in AAU track this summer.
"When I was in middle school my mom gave me the choice to go to any high school," he said of the open HISD. "Some coaches at Madison wanted me to run track so I just stayed close to home and became a Marlin."
Taylor will attend the Nike Camp in College Station, run track and participate in seven-on-seven this summer. He will also be attending college camps.
