ANN ARBOR – Joe Taylor wasn’t planning on playing football in college. Although he starred in football and baseball for Chelsea High School, he originally committed to walk on for Michigan’s baseball team in July 2020. Nearly five years later, Taylor is on track to play the most special teams snaps in the history of Wolverines football. The fifth-year senior has totaled 723 in his career – all in the past three seasons – and needs 164 more in 2025 to break Jordan Glasgow’s record.
