Senior Alexander “Zander” Taylor, a two-time captain for the Elon club team Big Fat Bomb, has being named USAU’s D-III Atlantic Coast Player of the Year and Ultiworld’s D-III Breakout Player of the Year.

Ultiworld, a premier new media site dedicate to the sport of ultimate frisbee, recently released its D-III College Awards for the 2015 season. In announcing Taylor’s Ultiworld award, Jesse Moskowitz wrote: “After being overshadowed last season by 1st Team All-Region stud Andrew Gruninger, Taylor broke out this year, taking his newfound role in stride. After not even making 2nd Team All-Region last year took home the title of Player of the Year in the Atlantic Coast this season.”

Taylor has been playing ultimate for seven years now and is gearing up for his final season with Big Fat Bomb.
