Chicago (Ill.) Mount Carmel junior OLB/DE recruit Terrance Taylor (6-foot-4, 203 pounds) made an unofficial visit to Northern Illinois last Friday. Taylor recaps his first ever visit to the Home of the Huskies and more in this recruiting update.

"I went to NIU on Friday," Taylor said. "NIU offered me a few weeks ago and I've never seen the school up close. I was at Huskies Stadium when we played in the state title game a few years ago but this was my first real recruit visit to NIU."

Taylor recapped his first impressions from his Friday NIU visit.

"I had a great visit to NIU. NIU has really nice facilities and I was really impressed with the team and the coaches at NIU. I was able to watch a spring practice and I was impressed at how high energy it was at the practice. Everyone around the football program is just really hyped and excited about playing. I also had a chance to talk to some of the NIU coaches and overall it was just a really good visit. NIU definitely made a good impression."

Taylor has a few more visits in mind this spring.

"I'm planning to head out to visit Western Illinois soon. I also have been in touch with Toledo and also Minnesota and I want to visit those schools. I want to see as many schools in person as I can this spring."

Taylor has also remained in touch with several schools this winter.

"I've been in touch with Iowa, Penn State, Illinois, Arkansas, Louisville and Iowa State. All of those coaches have said that they will be in school once the spring evaluation period begins. They all want to come and watch some of our morning workouts."

Taylor has also backed off his earlier thoughts in regards to making an early verbal commitment.

"I had a good talk with Coach Frank (Lenti) about the recruiting process and I'm looking at taking my time for now and I'm not in any rush to decide anything."

Terrance Taylor has scholarship offers from Central Michigan, Toledo, NIU, Eastern Michigan and Western Illinois.
