Richmond's Taylor Added to Buck Buchanan Award Watch List
RICHMOND, Va. - Richmond safety Cooper Taylor has been added to the Buck Buchanan
Award Watch List, as announced by The Sports Network this week. The Buchanan
Award honors the most outstanding defensive player in FCS Football.
Taylor, who has been touted for his size and speed, has
intercepted three passes over the last four games, including one for a 35-yard
touchdown at VMI. The senior has also tacked on four pass breakups and 27
tackles to his growing resume. Even after missing the Spiders' season-opener at
Virginia, Taylor is tied for the league lead in interceptions and pick returns while
ranking among the CAA's top 15 players in tackles as well.
More information on Taylor's honor can be found on RichmondSpiders.com.

The award will be voted on by a national panel of sports
information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other
dignitaries following the regular season on Nov. 19.
