Early years
Deon Taylor was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 23, 2004. At a young age, he started playing football in the backyard with his father Desmond Taylor. Desmond was a former football player at Soldan High School and a walk-on Wide Reciever/Athlete at Missouri. But unfortunately he would never play a snap for Mizzou. After graduating, Desmond still had a passion for football and decided to coach at his alma mater, Soldan High School. Desmond would often bring Deon to practices to meet the players and hopefully build a love for the game within Deon. It worked out for Desmond as Deon fell in love with football. Early on in Deon's football career, it was obvious he was a step above all his competition. He shined at every position he played but gravitated toward Quarterback in Elementary School. Somewhere along the way, maybe being because his father was the Defensive Cordinator at Soldan High School, he decided to change to a Defensive Back. Once reaching High School, Deon was quick to start playing on the varsity team. It only took one game on the JV team for the coaches to realize he belonged on the varisty field. Starting off as a kick/punt returner, he got to show off his athletic ability. Midway through the season, he was named to the starting lineup as a Cornerback. He would continue to return kicks and sometimes play Wide Reciever throughout his High School career. He would end his career with 17 interceptions (which included 6 pick sixes), 5 punt returns, 3 kick off returns and 374 total tackles. Even with this impressive stat line, Deon didn't seem to draw much attention from colleges from his play. He did not recieve a single Divison 1 offer and chose to follow his father's footsteps and walk on at Mizzou.
