Turner gives secondary experience it needs

After a long thought process, Nolan Turner decided on Jan. 18 he was returning to Clemson for one more season.

Like linebacker James Skalski, defensive end Regan Upshaw and running back Darien Rencher, Turner is taking advantage of the NCAA’s decision last fall to extend all student-athletes an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic.

Now heading into his sixth year, Turner will bring 55 games of experience to a secondary that at times showed a lot of potential, but also showed its inconsistencies. Especially in the Sugar Bowl loss to Ohio State.
