  • Carry on Edwards: “Taya is a hard-working, no-nonsense center back who caught our attention due to her blue-collar attitude both on and off the field. She is another Florida recruit who will lead our back line for years to come. An out and out center back whose ability to read the game with an air of composure, Taya will play a big role here at Kentucky.”
