Film Notes

Tayton plays with disciplined eyes, processing speed, and reliable tackling ability throughout the evaluation. The tape consistently reflects a linebacker who understands leverage, stays assignment sound, and maintains controlled movement through traffic and pursuit situations.

Run-fit discipline and football awareness remain evident throughout the film. Whether scraping laterally through congestion, fitting downhill into interior gaps, or closing space against perimeter concepts, the same traits repeatedly surface: leverage control, disciplined footwork, tackling consistency, and controlled physicality.

What stands out most is the consistency of the football IQ within structure. Tayton processes quickly, plays under control without overcommitting, and consistently reinforces dependable multi-phase defensive value with continued developmental upside.
