Taylor Graham (born June 3, 1980 in Fair Oaks, California) is an American-Puerto Rican soccer central defender, who is currently with Seattle Sounders of USL 1st Division.

College

Graham played five years of college soccer at Stanford University, registering as a walk-on his freshman year of 1998, and only appearing in two games in 1999. After appearing in 18 games his sophomore season, Graham started every possible game his final two, winning first team All-Pac 10 his senior year, as he led the Cardinal to an appearance in the NCAA College Cup.

Professional

After graduating from Stanford, Graham was drafted 33rd overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by the Kansas City Wizards. Graham was signed to a developmental contract, making two appearances and playing a total of ten minutes. In his second season Graham was given significantly more playing time, but was still not close to a major player for the Wizards. After a season in the USL First Division when he played every minute for the Seattle Sounders, led his team to the title, and was named USL Defender of the Year, Graham was acquired by the MetroStars, now Red Bull New York. He was released in midway through the 2007 season and signed with his former club Seattle Sounders.

National team

In 2008, Graham made his debut with the Puerto Rican national team, scoring in his first appearance which was also the nation's first victory in over 14 years.
