1st year at Illinois Central College
Alma Mater: Illinois Central College & Olivet Nazarene University
Brock Taylor enters his first year as an assistant coach/winter strength & conditioning coach for the men’s golf team. Taylor played for coach Sean Kennedy at ICC and then went on to play at Olivet Nazarene University. As an alum, Taylor will bring a unique perspective of what is expected from Coach Kennedy’s program and will be able to draw upon his playing experience to help mentor/teach players how to best navigate the collegiate golf journey.
Taylor's decorated Cougar playing career was highly successful. In his freshman season, Taylor’s squad finished 9th at the 2024 NJCAA National Championship in Joplin, MO, marking the first time the ICC men’s golf program finished inside the Top 10 at Nationals since 2017. Taylor's sophomore season was stellar. Individually, he won two Tournament Medalist Championships and collectively played a vital role in helping his team to the 2025 NJCAA National Championship 2nd place finish, the best Cougar men's golf finish in program history.
Brock is currently the head golf pro at Metamora Fields Golf Club which is one of the Cougars home courses. He also is currently finishing his last year at Olivet Nazarene University majoring in Business/Sports Management.
He currently resides in Washington, IL.
