South Alabama had the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2017, and player who very well could have won the award the previous season.
Could Tyree Turner be the latest defensive stalwart who follows in the footsteps of former Jaguars such as safety Jeremy Reaves and defensive end Randy Allen? The redshirt junior defensive tackle was only a second-team preseason all-conference pick this year, but USA head coach Steve Campbell said last month at Sun Belt Media Day and again last week that Turner has a chance to be an all-star this season.
