[Look] Sideline Reporter Taylor Rooks Is Heating Up Social Right Now

An absolute stunner.

Baddest sideline reporter in the game?

Quite possibly so. Taylor Rooks, a correspondent, host and sideline reporter for college sports' Big Ten Network, has social lit right about now.

Her Instagram posts have generated thousands of likes (and counting).

And as beautiful and talented as she is, it's easy to understand why.

Need we say more?

A broadcast journalism major at the University of Illinois, Rooks actually has sports in her bloodline. According to BTN.com, Taylor's dad is former Illinois running back Thomas Rooks and she counts Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock and former NFL defensive back Marvin Woodson as two of her uncles.

At 23, Rooks already boasts interviews with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James on her resume.

Keep doing your thing, Taylor!
