Taylor is Miami's second top-50 commitment following the addition of four-star linebacker James Williams (No. 32).
The 6-foot-4 defensive tackle is staying close to home for his college career after playing at Miami Palmetto High School in Florida.
He also had offers from Florida, Alabama, and Auburn, among others.
Taylor racked up 11 sacks and 68 total tackles in 2019.
