Overview
- Taylor was briefly detained during the postgame handshake at Morehouse after a 77-69 loss, with video showing an officer handcuffing him following a short exchange.
- Attorney Gregory Reynald Williams says Taylor moved to protect Tuskegee players and parents from aggressive behavior by Morehouse football players and is weighing legal action.
- Tuskegee athletic director Reginald Ruffin says Taylor asked security to enforce Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference–mandated protocols by removing football players from the handshake line.
- The security officer reportedly described Taylor as “very aggressive,” a claim Tuskegee disputes, and footage cited by multiple outlets does not show physical aggression.
- Taylor was released shortly after and traveled home with the team; no charges or injuries were reported, and Morehouse College and the SIAC have not issued public statements.
