Former Football Star Sentenced to Life | Huntsville News

Former Arkansas State football star and Tennessee Titans scout Blaise Taylor has been sentenced to consecutive life terms after being convicted of poisoning his girlfriend, Jade Benning, and their unborn child. The gruesome crime occurred during a February 2023 date when Taylor laced her drink with a lethal dose of cocaine — leading to her death on her 25th birthday and the stillborn loss of their baby. Despite Taylor’s 911 call claiming she was having an allergic reaction, police couldn’t reach her before she died. His defense argues the case is flawed and plans to appeal, while his past athletic achievements — including All-Sun Belt honors and recent hiring at Texas A&M — now stand in stark contrast to his horrific actions.
