Jordan Taylor participated in her second Media Day with the Napa Valley College women’s basketball team after transferring from Whittier College and redshirting last season. During her first year at Napa Valley College, Taylor focused on academics and skill development and did not appear in games.
Taylor, a 2024 graduate of Oakland Tech, was a key contributor to two CIF State Division I championship teams during her high school career. Reflecting on her previous Media Day, she said, “This time last year, I just was taking pictures with the team and I wasn’t playing. I came back to finish my year out here. I had to get my grades straight.”
Her dedication to both academic progress and athletic improvement highlights her commitment as she prepares to take an active role in the Napa Valley College women’s basketball program.
