Trooper Taylor, the WR coach and son of former Auburn Tigers associate head coach Blaise A. Taylor, was arrested for poisoning pregnant Jade Benning, resulting in her death.
Blaise Taylor, Trooper Taylor’s son, is accused of poisoning the woman and the unborn child. Blaise Taylor, a former standout football player at Auburn High School and the son of former Auburn Tigers assistant football coach Trooper Taylor, was arrested in Utah last year on suspicion of poisoning his fiancée and their unborn child in Nashville, Tennessee.
It’s still unclear what exactly happened to his girlfriend and their unborn kid when they died. Taylor’s detention in Cache County, Utah on March 14 was made possible by an indictment returned by a grand jury in Nashville, Tennessee, which accused him with two charges of first-degree murder.
According to the findings of the investigation, Taylor’s girlfriend Jade Benning died dead at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center on March 6, 2023, which would have been her 25th birthday. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance on February 25, 2023, after Taylor apparently called 911 just after 9:30 p.m., claiming that Benning seemed to be having an allergic reaction.
Benning’s health quickly deteriorated, and on February 27, 2023, the five-month-old fetus that Taylor is believed to have fathered died.
Benning’s health quickly deteriorated to a serious level. The investigators were unable to speak with Benning after she died away. Here is a photo of Jade that her mother released to the world. Taylor worked as a scout for the Tennessee Titans for four years straight, according to his LinkedIn page.
Prior to his departure from Utah State University, Taylor held the role of senior defensive analyst. Taylor attended Arkansas State University as a student from 2014 to 2017. He had previously gone to Auburn High School in Alabama, where his father was a coach.
