Nolan Turner didn’t want to miss spring practice recovering from surgery, but now he realizes it might have worked out for the best. He’s not only healthy, he is more of a student of the game and feels like he will be a better leader because of it.
Turner enters the 2020 season credited with 124 tackles (5.5 for loss), 14 passes broken up, three interceptions (all in postseason play) returned 24 yards, a sack and a forced fumble in 973 snaps over 43 career games (four starts). The senior safety missed the spring, however, after offseason on his right shoulder.
