Taylor Sears Somerset High School 2011 commits to Morehead State University. A three year Starter for Coach Phil Grundy, he enters his Seventh season as a Briar Jumper having been the first player in the tradition rich program to make the Varsity roster as a mere Sixth Grader.

As a Sophomore, Sears finished the '09 season with a .488 Average and 17 doubles, both among the tops in the State, earning him the Commonwealth Journal All County " Player of the Year" honors.

Sears played summer ball for the Morse Mustangs and continued his success, batting .480 with 13 doubles and 3 Home Runs.

Sears is the first of the talented batch of the 2011 SHS seniors to sign and the fourth Mustang as Isaac Smith (Bradley), Jacob Bodner (Xavier) and Matthew Honchell (Miami of Ohio) have all committed early. Sears joins several former 12th Region standouts to have signed with Coach Jay Sorg's Morehead State program, including 2010 signees Aaron Watts, Duran Elmore, Bud Morton and Noah Smallwood.

Sears also plays strong safety for the currently undefeated and top ranked Jumper football team. The Briar Jumpers advanced to the Class 3A State Finals last season.

Congrats and Go Eagles!

Congratulations. Jay Sorg is a great coach.

Should be a great fit for Taylor and Morehead. Coach Sorg has really been recruiting the 12th region hard the last few years.
