Whit Taylor was a star all-Southeastern Conference quarterback for the Vanderbilt University football team from 1979-1982, and quarterbacked that school's most recent winning team to an 8-4 record and the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1982. Failing to achieve a career in the National Football League, he was a backup quarterback for the Michigan Panthers of the United States Football League and then became quarterback of the Denver Dynamite of the Arena Football League in 1987, and in that year became the first player ever to pass for ten touchdowns in any professional game of American football, a record which stood for over a decade. He worked as a high school football coach and teacher in the Middle Tennessee area at Shelbyville's Central High School, his high school alma mater. In 2006, he left coaching to go into educational administration. He served as the Harris Middle School Assistant Principal for a few years. He is currently Assistant Principal of Central High School.
