The Georgia native has huge expertise overlaying a number of sports activities, primarily in basketball and faculty soccer but in addition in NFL and volleyball. She performed each volleyball and basketball as a student-athlete on the College of Georgia earlier than becoming a member of ESPN as a university soccer sideline reporter and offering evaluation for ladies’s faculty basketball. She moved on to the SEC Community earlier than returning to ESPN for protection of school soccer and, most not too long ago, the NBA.

“Extremely excited to have the chance to work with Pete, Molly, Sam, Fred, and the complete NBC Sports activities household,” Taylor stated. “Actually, internet hosting the Olympics, Soccer Evening in America, and the Tremendous Bowl is what I dreamed of once I began in tv – and this could not be potential with out standing on the shoulders of all of those that got here earlier than me and made this path potential. And I plan to pay it ahead.”
