Taylor Rooks Biography

A Georgia native fueled by sports and conversation, Taylor Rooks carved her path through the broadcasting world with tenacity and a knack for insightful questions. Her journey began at the University of Illinois, where she honed her skills breaking national college basketball and football recruiting stories for Scout.com.

Early stints at the Big Ten Network and CBS Sports Network solidified her on-air presence, while a move to SportsNet New York catapulted her into the heart of the New York sports scene. But Rooks's ambitions went beyond reporting scores and highlights. She craved deeper conversations that peel back the layers and reveal the human stories behind the athletes.

Thus, "The Taylor Rooks Interview" was born. Her interview show on Bleacher Report became a platform for candid dialogues with some of the biggest names in sports, showcasing her ability to connect on a personal level and elicit unexpected insights. This, coupled with her wit and engaging personality, solidified her reputation as a rising star in the industry.

Today, Rooks juggles roles as host and executive producer of "Take It There With Taylor Rooks" for Bleacher Report, feature reporter on Amazon's "Thursday Night Football," and contributor to Turner Sports. But through it all, her passion for storytelling and drive to push the boundaries of sports journalism remain at the core of everything she does. Whether breaking down the latest plays or delving into champions' minds, Rooks continues redefining what it means to be a sports personality. Her relentless energy and sharp intellect promise to keep audiences entertained and informed for years to come.
