Star City athlete CJ Turner was considered one of the top 2023 prospects in the state, and his performance at Arkansas’ prospect camp on Sunday solidified that thinking.
Turner, 6-1, 195 pounds, ran a handheld 4.48 seconds in the 40-yard dash and measured an impressive 9 feet, 10 inches in the broad jump. He also recorded a 33-inch vertical.
He worked out at linebacker and caught the eye of Arkansas linebackers coach Michael Scherer.
“He said that I had a good day and that I looked good,” Turner said. “He said he wanted me to get to around 210 (pounds) and we would make something happen then.
