Turner is listed as measuring 6-1, 170 pounds. Turner is rated 3-stars, the No. 9 player in Louisiana, No. 37 ATH and No. 436 prospect overall nationally in the Class of 2024 on the 247Sports Composite. The ATH label is used for multi-position prospects, though Turner’s future in Baton Rouge appears to be at wide receiver, as he was recruited by Cortez Hankton.
LSU was the most recent team to extend a scholarship offer to Turner, bringing the total to 23. Prior to LSU’s offer last week, Turner had also received interest from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
