In addition to his scoring prowess, Taylor pulled down 5.0 rebounds and dished out 3.8 assists per contest. <\/p>\n<p>He is the second addition out of the portal this cycle, joining Cincinnati transfer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/shon-abaev-178193\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shon Abaev<\/a>, who committed on Monday. Taylor excelled at getting to the free throw line, finishing second in the Big South in charity stripe attempts (224) and fourth in makes (157). <\/p>\n<p>In conference play, he also led the league in points produced per game and did so while playing more minutes than any other player. Taylor\u2019s breakout season came after a strong freshman campaign in 2024-25, where he averaged 8.9 points and 2.4 rebounds on 50% shooting from the field.<\/p>\n<p>At FSU though, he\u2019ll look to take the next step as an outside scorer. In two seasons at the college level, he has shot just 26% from behind the arc. His numbers slightly improved as a sophomore, knocking down 39 three-pointers on 139 attempts. <\/p>\n<p>FSU looking to improve on winning season in 2025-26<\/p>\n<p>Both Taylor and Abaev will be counted on as key cogs next year for the \u2018Noles, who finished 18-15 in year one under Luke Loucks. <\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s leading scorers \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/robert-mccray-101181\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Robert McCray<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/chauncey-wiggins-20950\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chauncey Wiggins<\/a> \u2014 are both out of eligibility. And sophomore guard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/martin-somerville-250318\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Martin Somerville<\/a> (8.0 PPG) opted to enter the portal.
