Jason Taylor II Named to Senior Bowl American Roster

STILLWATER – Great news for Oklahoma State Jason Taylor II as he’s earned an invite to the upcoming Senior Bowl.

As you can see in the tweet from Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy, Taylor has been placed on the American roster.

He’ll be joining, and playing on the opposite sidelines, of fellow Cowboy Tyler Lacy, who’s on the National team. Another Cowboy plays in the East-West Shrine Game on Feb. 2 in deep snapper Matt Hembrough.

Taylor II is not only coming off an incredible All-American senior season, but he’s coming off a very solid performance in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl this past weekend, in which he recorded six solo stops, a pass break up and a forced fumble at the five yard line to save a touchdown.

In fact, you should just watch the highlight for yourself on NFL.com because it’s an incredible effort for an incredible stop. I have a feeling it’s not going to be the only highlight of JT’s that we see on NFL.com.

He finished the 2022 season with 99 total tackles, 80 of which were solo stops, including 3.5 tackles for loss. He also finished with an impressive 13 pass break ups, six interceptions, two of which interceptions came in the win over Texas, and one forced fumble.

His six picks were tied for second in the FBS, one of just eight players to do so, behind just two players who combined for seven picks.

The Senior Bowl is set to be played this coming Saturday, February 4, and will kickoff at 1:30 p.m. CT on the NFL Network.
