KaMario Taylor credits a loss in the 2022 Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 3A state championship game as one of the most defining moments in his career. “When the clock hit 00:00 and we were on the losing side of it, I didn’t like that feeling,” Taylor told The Dispatch. “Something clicked in my mind, told me to go grind harder, go get better, work harder.” That focus paid off as Taylor became one of the most dominating quarterbacks in the country – throwing for 3,594 yards and 43 touchdowns during his junior season in high school. “The biggest thing he improved on was his knowledge of the game,” Noxubee County coach Teddy Young said. “Trying to be better as a quarterback, as a leader, trying to understand different defenses. He’s spent a lot of time in the weight room this offseason, getting bigger, getting stronger, getting faster, but he’s dedicated himself to being a better football player overall. I have no doubt I've coached the best quarterback in Mississippi.”
