COLUMBUS, Ohio --- North Carolina senior guard Landon Turner has been named the winner of the 2015 Jim Parker Award presented by the Touchdown Club of Columbus. The award, named for the late Ohio State football legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Parker, is presented annually to college football's top offensive lineman.
The 6-4, 325-pound lineman led a balanced Tar Heel offense that averaged nearly 500 yards and more than 40 points per game in 2015. Turner is the first player from the ACC to ever win the award which was first presented by the TDC in 1991.
