Friday, Rutgers secured another special teams walk-on commitment, this time from Billy Taylor -- a 6-1, 225-pound senior out of Parsippany Hills (N.J.), who also plays offensive and defensive line.

Taylor took two unofficial visits to the banks last fall for Rutgers' games against Iowa and Penn State and attended junior day late last month, despite being a senior. He was recruited primarily by Rutgers defensive coordinator Jay Niemann, who even visited him at his school.

A five-star specialist, Taylor was a senior captain at Par Hills in 2016 as well as his team's MVP. He made third-team all-Group 3 as a defensive lineman as well as all-division, all-conference and all-county as an offensive lineman. He was also a first-team academic all-conference selection.

NJ Advance Media caught up with former Rutgers kicker Lee McDonald of Special Teams Solutions (STS), to break down Taylor's game.

"Billy is the top ranked snapper in the northeast and was named the 2016 Northeast Snapper of the Year by Special Teams Solutions," said McDonald. "Taylor brings consistent low .7-second snap speed from 15 yards which puts him among the best in the country. Throwing fire is an understatement. He has an athletic frame with a quick release and excellent accuracy. A steal for the Scarlet Knights as a preferred walk-on."
