Taco Charlton
Vidauntae "Taco" Charlton (born November 7, 1994) is an American professional football defensive end for the Dallas Renegades of the United Football League (UFL). He played college football at Michigan and was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. He has also been a member of the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, and San Francisco 49ers. He won a championship with the Stallions in his first year in the UFL.
Charlton was born at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center two months prematurely. His nickname derived from the fact that to try to keep his mother from going into labor early, his grandmother would speak to her daughter's baby bump and tell him "you had best not make a run for the border", referencing the Taco Bell advertising slogan.
He attended Pickerington High School Central in Pickerington, Ohio. He played as a defensive end, outside linebacker and tight end. As a sophomore, he collected 35 tackles and 8 pass breakups.
As a senior, he was a two-way player, registering 116 tackles (24 for loss) and 19 sacks, while receiving Division I All-Ohio honors. He committed to the University of Michigan to play college football as a four-star recruit.
In addition, Charlton also played basketball in high school alongside future NBA players Caris LeVert, Jae'Sean Tate and Javon Bess.
Charlton accepted a football scholarship from the University of Michigan. As a true freshman in 2013, he appeared in 10 games as a backup defensive end, playing mostly on special teams, while compiling two defensive tackles (half for a loss). As a sophomore in 2014, he appeared in 12 games with one start, making 19 tackles (5.5 for loss), 3.5 sacks and three quarterback hurries.
As a junior in 2015, he was defensive end in a 3-4 defense, appearing in 13 games with three starts, while recording 30 tackles (8.5 for loss), 5.5 sacks, three quarterback hurries and one forced fumble.
As a senior in 2016, he became a starter at right defensive end in a 4-3 defense. He suffered a high ankle sprain in the season opener and was forced to miss the next two games. He returned in the fourth game against Penn State University, posting three tackles (two for loss) and 1.5 sacks. He had three tackles and two sacks against Rutgers University. He made nine tackles (three for loss) and 2.5 sacks against Ohio State University. He finished with 43 tackles (13 for loss), two pass breakups and led the team with 9.5 sacks (tenth in school history). He was also named to the All-Big Ten Conference defensive first-team, by both the coaches and media.
