A.J. Turner’s college football career is almost over, but he feels like he’s playing in high school again.
At Centreville High School in Clifton, Va., Turner rushed for 1,287 yards and had eight interceptions while leading the Wildcats to a state championship. He would like to have a chance to do something like that again for the Gamecocks in 2019.
After playing almost three full seasons of running back for the Gamecocks, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound senior was forced into action as a cornerback in the Belk Bowl due to injuries in the secondary.
