Herriman HS back Taysan Hammer is leading the team in tries so far in the Utah Youth Rugby Fall 7s Series.

Hammer has scored 18 tries in ten games so far, and his coach said Hammer has made strides this fall.

"Taysan has made the jump from key reserve to elite caliber player in just a few short months," said Jeff Wilson. "He had a terrific summer of development with the Cannibals in Denver and Victoria and showed well in the NAI 7s as well. Most importantly, he is a 4.0 student and a young man of impeccable character, and is providing senior-caliber leadership even though he is just beginning his junior year."
