Taggart signed his child, dual-threat quarterback Willie Taggart Jr., in the 2020 class after the program did not sign a quarterback in 2019. FAU signed three-star quarterback Cordel Littlejohn in 2018 and has starter Chris Robison on the roster for possibly 2 more seasons.
The coach is entering his first season in charge of Florida Atlantic after 2 losing seasons at Florida State.
After including Sanders to the class, FAU has 18 total commitments, with Sanders as the only four-star.

Florida Atlantic added a huge name to its 2021 recruiting class on Monday when ESPN 300 quarterback Shedeur Sanders announced his commitment to the Owls.
Sanders, the boy of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is the No. 8-ranked pocket-passer QB and the No. 41-ranked possibility overall in the class.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound quarterback out of Trinity Christian School in Cedar Hill, Texas, is the first ESPN 300 hire to select FAU because ESPN started its rankings in 2009.
” I wished to compose my own tradition, FAU offered me a chance to do that! I rely on the staff,” Shedeur Sanders informed ESPNs Gerry Hamilton in a text. “( Owls coach) Willie Taggart was the first coach to provide me an opportunity to play at the next level.”
As a junior last season, Sanders tossed for 3,477 lawns, 47 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He had 3,088 lawns, 42 goals and seven interceptions his sophomore season and has actually had his father as his offending organizer.
