Trooper Taylor was a finalist to replace Mike Elko as Duke's head coach, and he's remained in Durham, N.C., as the Blue Devils' interim leader in their bowl preparations.
But Taylor, a Cuero, Texas, native, is set to be reunited with Elko, several sources tell FootballScoop.
Elko on Sunday night, sources shared with FootballScoop, informed incumbent Aggies running backs coach Marquel Blackwell that he intended to formally add Taylor into the Texas A&M staff later this month.
Blackwell had just arrived in College Station, Texas, after the 2022 season, when then-Aggies head man Jimbo Fisher pried Blackwell away from SEC Western Division rivals Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss.
No stranger to the Lone Star State or the SEC, Taylor played collegiately at Baylor and logged previous coaching stops under Phillip Fulmer at the University of Tennessee and then was hired by former Duke head coach David Cutcliffe to serve multiple roles for the Blue Devils.
Taylor additionally served under Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State, and he worked at Auburn under Gene Chizik.
Long regarded as one of the sport's top recruiters, Taylor was honored by Rivals.com at both Auburn and Tennessee as among college football's top 25 recruiters.
Sources tell FootballScoop Taylor is currently planning to remain with Duke through their bowl game vs Troy on the 23rd.
