Brandon’s thoughts: Turner is an absolute athletic freak. He can be just as effective on offensive as he is on defense. His 17 career interceptions, including 10 as a sophomore, shows his ability to make plays on the ball. He is also stronger than he looks, proving to be very difficult to bring down. He is another underrated player for Arizona but one look at his highlight tape shows what he can do. Plus, his film is a ton of fun to watch.

Gabe’s thoughts: My favorite commit of this class. The ultimate playmaker and has great size. He can come down and make a play in space, he can go up and get a ball, he can lock down in man coverage, he can fly in zone coverage. I absolutely love his skill set. The safety group is absolutely loaded and there are plenty of free safeties, so I think he can see the field early if he can find a role at bandit but he could ultimately play all three safety positions and even corner.
