Colin Cowherd has high praise for Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor
Published:
Averaging 8.8 yards per carry, Wisconsin Badgers junior running back Jonathan Taylor ran for 203 yards and three scores in Saturday’s 35-14 victory over the No. 11 Michigan Wolverines at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
Leading the FBS with 10 rushing and receiving scores, Taylor has solidified his status as a prime Heisman Trophy candidate.
Colin Cowherd, host of The Herd on FS1, had some very high praise for the Salem, New Jersey native on Twitter:
Jonathan Taylor is the best college RB I’ve seen since @EzekielElliott

A four-star recruit in the 2013 class according to the 247Sports Composite, Elliott ran for 3,961 yards and 43 touchdowns as a Buckeye. Part of Ohio State’s 2014 national championship team, Elliott was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 National Football League Draft.
Likely to move into the top-10 with their dismantling of the Wolverines, Taylor and the Badgers will look to keep it going vs. Northwestern on Saturday (12:00PM ET, ABC).
