Sleeper LB passes look test
There is a sleeper linebacker from Los Angeles who passed the look test when colleges came by his campus this past spring. This player played behind an all-city performer as a junior and will be one of those guys to keep an eye on this fall.
The player in question is outside linebacker Tyrone Taylor (6-2, 200, 4.6) from Los Angeles (Calif.) Washington Prep.

Taylor is cousins with teammate Monte' Taylor, another sleeper type who has really come into his own during this off-season.
Washington Prep was visited by the likes of USC, UCLA, Arizona, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Utah and UNLV.
"Whenever Tyrone played last season," Washington Prep coach Eugene McAdoo said. "He did a good job for us. I think he's going to make some school very happy."
"Tyrone is a really good cover linebacker because he runs so well," McAdoo said. "He's a hard hitting linebacker with a real good nose for the football."
"Tyrone is one of those guys who will see his best days as a football ahead of him," McAdoo said. "We expect him to have big season for us."
The scouting report on Taylor is he's very quick to the football and he arrives on the scene with ill intent. He has a good frame that could allow him to get bigger. He may be a bit raw but the potential is there.
Taylor is another one of those guys who could see his stock grow with a solid senior season.
The word is schools want to see him in action this fall and if he passes the test offers will follow.
