Why 2019 safety signee Asa Turner committed to a program, a position and a coach at Washington

Asa Turner finally knows where he needs to be.

That’s true both of a position and a program. A 6-foot-2, 199-pound athlete from Carlsbad, Calif., Turner originally verbally committed to play safety at Washington in July 2018. But the four-star prospect declined to sign with the Huskies in December while considering an offer to play linebacker at Notre Dame.

Ultimately, Turner felt more comfortable at safety — the position he starred in at Carlsbad High School.

But that wasn’t the only reason he re-committed to Washington.

“Notre Dame came in right before senior year,” Turner told The Times this week.
