Ryan Taylor

Rocky River HS

QB

2026

5’10” 175

Jersey Number 6

What was the high point of the 2024 season?

Being able to contribute to a winning program. Learning and growing with my team and sending the seniors off with a winning season.

What was the low point of the 2024 season?

Getting injured and losing in the playoffs.

What do you believe is the strongest part of your game?

The strongest part of my game is seeing the game slower and understanding the offense.

What have you done during the off-season to improve your game?

I’ve gotten stronger and am working on my accuracy. I’ve been to different QB trainers to get more well-rounded training and different perspectives on learning the position.

With this being your final high school season, are you approaching things any differently? Explain

I’m going to have fun. I play much better when I’m having fun. My focus is on leadership and leading our team to Canton. Nobody thinks we can do it, but I do, and our team does. We will shock some people.

What type of defense do you enjoy going up against the most?

Please play man against us. Cover 3 clouds too.

Which game are you looking forward to the most? Explain

Lake, Buckeye, and Bay. Then all the playoffs

If you could pick the offense your team ran, what offense are you picking?

I really love our entire offense. We run an air raid. Our coach and OC call the offense to our strengths, and they listen. If I believe something will work, they want me to go for it. They trust us.

If you could change one high school football rule, which one would you change?

The highest seed should get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs until the state final four.

If you are invited to play in any of the All-Star games after the season, will you?

It would be fun since my QB coach has coached the last 3 MVPs, but I doubt it because I’ll be in lacrosse season.

What are your team goals this season?

Go undefeated, win the region, and have a chance to play for a state championship.

What are your personal goals for the season?

Stay healthy. 4,000 passing, 35+ Tds, 70% Comp, 5000 yards + offensively as a team. 4 receivers over 750 yards receiving.

What is your favorite sports show or movie?

Friday Night Lights

Who are your favorite and least favorite NFL teams?

Favorite Ravens, least favorite Browns

What scares you?

Not knowing the future

Memories from Ryan

It’s been a great year, coming to a new school, anew home, and meeting so many cool people. I can’t wait to share another great year with my teammates and classmates and give Rocky River a fun and exciting fall. #2025PiratesGreatestShowOnTurf

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
