Taylor Diebert
Gila Ridge senior DL
The lowdown:
Taylor was a part of the three-headed monster at defensive line this year for the Hawks. In his final season at Gila Ridge, Taylor recorded 72 tackles — 18 of those being for a loss — and 6.5 sacks. Taylor’s contributions helped lead the Hawks to the 4A state semifinals for the first time in program history.
Coach John Ellegood:
“Taylor is a dominant defensive end with quick feet and quick hands. He is a powerful, smart and resilient football player. Taylor goes all out on every play.”
