Washington is loaded with talent flying under the radar in the secondary.</em> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="333679" first="Kendrick" last="Turner"]- DB, Kentridge</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Turner's a playmaking Safety in the Kentridge secondary. He's a reliable player in deep coverage that puts himself in position over the top and possesses the ball skills to create turnovers. He's a consistent tackler at the second level that shows good range and closing speed. Turner's a raw prospect with a high ceiling and upside.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">DB, <a href="https://twitter.com/KendrickTurn378?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KendrickTurn378</a> is a dude!

He's an aggressive tackler from his Safety spot that can shed blocks on the edge and track down ball-carriers. He plays well with his eyes cutting passing lanes, anticipating passes, and reacting to the football. He showed versatility covering deep zone and coming up into the box playing close to the LOS.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Had a blast at the Air Force Academy camp.

He's a rangy sideline-to-sideline tackler with a quick trigger and a nose for the football. He can roam the middle of the field sniffing out plays with instincts and closing speed. Gordon possesses rare physicality for a DB that should put him on the radar heading into his senior season.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Had a great time visiting <a href="https://twitter.com/weberstatefb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@weberstatefb</a> today!!!
