Taboada had been open about his interest in Stanford long before the Cardinal offered on September 30. Perhaps our coaches waited to offer since he was not able to fully participate in their summer camp due to a pulled hamstring. In an August interview, he talked about waiting for Stanford:
When I started the recruiting process, I was hoping I could use my football to help me get a good degree. Obviously, Alabama doesnt have the highest degree. But then I thought about it, and playing for Coach Saban, with all the exposure you get from playing for him, its almost like having a good degree. But Im still kind of waiting for Stanford a little bit. I dont want to commit too soon, so that Stanford would that think they lost me if theyre still interested. So thats what is kind of holding me back.
I was going to wait until halfway through the season and send game film to Stanford and see what they think. If I still dont have an offer from them, and no other schools like Georgia pop up, I will probably commit around that time.
