Taylor Stanton

Chief Engineer

Club Official
Conditioning Coach

The mastermind behind our team's ability to sprint faster than rumors after a transfer window! When he's not turning players into human Swiss Army knives, you'll find him counting reps like a mathematician with a grudge against gravity. Off the field, he's the reason our squad can outlast both extra time and your uncle's 'quick' family BBQ stories.
