Turner caught just six passes with one touchdown in his first two seasons as a lanky wide receiver for the Wolf Pack. Heading into 2020, the junior switched to tight end and added 35 pounds to his 6-foot-6 frame.
Switching positions combined with a rigorous offseason routine has made all the difference for Turner, as he’s established himself as a premier talent in the Mountain West Conference.
