Michael Turner

Ready-to-play running back thanks to position-relative build and athleticism. Pushing 6 feet, 200-plus pounds with the frame space to add more mass, while retaining the short area quickness and agility that separate him from other backs in Texas and across the country. High-volume workhorse with good production in counting stats and per carry rate. Averaged 8.04 yards per carry on 300-plus rushes across sophomore and junior seasons. Manages pace well on inside zone; glides into developing pathways before ultimately using a variety of jump cuts and evasive moves to make defenders miss. Finishes with physicality. Displays advanced speed-changing nuance accompanied by second-level creativity. Ideally would have more pass-catching opportunities after 31 receptions in first three high school campaigns. Ran an 11.05 100 as a freshman and has run on state- and regional-qualifying relay units as a sophomore and junior. Lateral testing data reflects suddenness. Young for his grade. Simultaneously high-floor with developmental potential thanks to physical and athletic markers. Projects as a high-major back who could play early and become a backfield stalwart en route to pro consideration.
