Trae Taylor’s Hat Toss Sparks Big Ten Drama

Did you catch Trae Taylor’s commitment stunt? The four-star QB, once on Michigan’s radar, picked Nebraska but made headlines by faking out Illinois with a hat toss at his announcement. Illini fans—and even their QB Luke Altmyer—weren’t thrilled, calling Taylor a "cornball." To his credit, Taylor quickly apologized, saying the moment got the best of him. In today’s NIL and transfer portal era, you never know where a player might end up, so keeping bridges unburned is smart. What do you think—just showmanship or out of line? #CollegeFootball #NebraskaFootball #IllinoisFootball #RecruitingDrama #BigTen
