Taylor Rooks is one of the most talked about young reports in sports media and it’s not hard to see why. Rooks, born May 22, 1992, currently works for SportsNet New York (known by locals as SNY, home of the Mets… lol). Prior to her gig at SNY, Rooks worked as a reporter for the Big Ten Network. Earlier in her career, Rooks was a recruiting reporter for Scout.com.
Rooks was born May 22, 1992, in St. Louis, Missouri and attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is the daughter of Illinois all-time leading rusher Thomas Rooks, the niece of St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock, and niece of former Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints player Marv Woodson. Talk about a gene pool.
Rooks got her big break when she went viral in April of 2018. Rooks had future Hall of Famer Dwayne Wade on her “Timeout With Taylor Rooks” podcast and social media blew up with jokes about Dwayne Wade having to try and ignore how obviously attractive she is. Classic internet stuff.

Following her moment of virality, Rook’s Instagram blew up and she now has over 125,000 followers (at the time of this writing). In May of 2018, Rooks began dating the actor and “social activist” Jesse Williams. While the pair were confirmed to be dating, they walked down the Red Carpet of the NBA Awards (which is a thing that happens in 2018 because we’re all f*cked) separately. Celebrities, man.
