My Afternoon Quest: Finding Maria Taylor’s Height from Her ESPN Days
Okay, so I was kicking back the other day, watching some old college football clips on my tablet. You know how it is, just scrolling through stuff. And I saw Maria Taylor doing one of those sideline interviews from her time at ESPN.

It got me thinking. She always stood out, not just ’cause she’s good at her job, but physically too. Like, standing next to some of those players, she didn’t look short at all. So, the question just popped into my head: how tall is Maria Taylor, really? Especially thinking back to her ESPN time.
Naturally, the next step was grabbing my phone. I started searching, pretty simple stuff at first:
- maria taylor height
- how tall is maria taylor espn
- maria taylor basketball player height (remembering she played sports)
You get a bunch of results, right? That’s the internet for ya. Some numbers started popping up pretty consistently. Saw a few different figures mentioned here and there across various pages, which always makes you wonder a bit.
I tried to zero in on info specifically from when she was with ESPN, thinking maybe there was an old bio page archived somewhere or a feature piece that mentioned it. Didn’t find anything super official from ESPN itself that was easy to grab right away, which isn’t surprising since she moved on.
But, after poking around on a few different spots – fan pages, sports forums, celebrity height sites (yeah, those exist) – a number kept showing up more than others. Most sources seemed to land around the same mark.

The consensus seemed to be 6 feet 2 inches.
Yeah, 6’2″. That made sense with what I remembered seeing on screen during those ESPN broadcasts. She definitely has a presence, and being over six feet tall explains it. Stood tall next to coaches and players alike.
So, that was my little investigation. Just a random curiosity sparked by an old clip, leading me down a quick search rabbit hole. Got my answer, more or less. Always interesting to figure out those little details you wonder about while watching TV.
