SCOUTING NOTEBOOK
The read right now
The rushing production is established earlier than the passing sample. A larger passing workload is the key developmental question.
The production
2025 freshman: 43/77 passing for 629 yards, five touchdowns and one interception; 458 rushing yards and eight scores on 82 attempts.
Latest game
Mississippi State’s final South Carolina game center lists 251 passing yards for Taylor in a 41–34 win.
NEXT CHECK
Review completion efficiency and passing workload alongside the established rushing threat.
BOWMAN CHECKLIST
His 2026 Bowman cards
Paper and Chrome are separate prospect entries. Prospect autographs add a verified signature checklist appearance; inserts and variations are separate collecting paths. This is a format hierarchy, not a price or scarcity ranking.
Topps describes parallels, but a complete first-party football odds/serial-number matrix was not available in this audit. No baseball parallel structure is imported. Serial numbering is not an estimate of total print run.
2 base appearances · 3 autograph appearances · 8 insert / variation appearances. Counts describe checklist rows, not distinct print runs.
These are the official checklist appearances we have mapped. We only show serial numbering when we can source it.
eBay searches can return the wrong parallel or player, so check the photos and card number before buying. Pigskin Portfolio may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
