“Taff is an athletic, dynamic, and versatile player. His speed and athleticism make him an asset both offensively and defensively. He reads and understands the game well and is a very capable player. He’s ready to make the move up to a 4 year program. As a person he is coachable and well liked by his teammates. He is a pleasure to be around and was an important part of our success over the two years he was at Peninsula.”
