Probably behind a paywall, but this story makes you want to cheer for Taylor even more. Had no idea he has overcome so much.

He seemed to have very strong family support at the Quick Lane Bowl. There were about 15-20 family/friends wearing his gear a few rows in front of me in my section.

Well, I know what number my Gopher jersey will be this season!

Darius is a class act. Just a tremendous young man who will be fun to root for.

Thanks for posting Mulligan. I was able to read it with no paywall.

GoGophers!

He is in a good place with Gopher Football. PJ Fleck and the entire academics and athletics staff are pointing him in the right direction. Kudos to you Darius Taylor!
