He then attended boarding school at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, where he suffered a major knee injury. After recovering, he played one season at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse. He transferred to Grinnell to play in their high-scoring system. After his record-setting performance, his 2012–13 season ended prematurely after he broke his arm. He recovered to become a two-time All-Midwest Region selection over the next two seasons. ==Early life== Taylor was born in San Diego County, California in the city of Lakeside.〔 His favorite player growing up was National Basketball Association (NBA) star Kobe Bryant; Taylor emulated Bryant's footwork while using chairs to act as defenders.
