Cole Turner had the physical traits since he arrived at Nevada as a true freshman in 2018, but a position change has unlocked his potential this season.

Turner caught just six passes with one touchdown in his first two seasons as a lanky wide receiver for the Wolf Pack. Heading into 2020, the junior switched to tight end and added 35 pounds to his 6-foot-6 frame.

Switching positions combined with a rigorous offseason routine has made all the difference for Turner, as he’s established himself as a premier talent in the Mountain West Conference.
