Read EvaluationZack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Turner picked up his third D-I offer and first FCS offer from Utah Tech in mid-September. The senior RB is among San Diego’s top rushers this season with over 700 yards and 13 TDs through five games. He’s taken on a bell-cow role this season after splitting the work with Helix-transfer Isaiah Jackson for multiple seasons. He’s a powerful downhill runner that combines speed and physicality in the open field. Turner holds other offers from Cornell and Georgetown.

Read EvaluationZack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Turner has handled over 20 carries for 180+ yards and multiple TD scores in each of Granite Hills’ first three games since taking on more of a workhorse role this season. The 5’8″/185 senior is a powerful downhill runner with great speed and contact balance in the open field. He runs physically behind his pads, generates leverage from the ground up with his low center-of-balance and pad level, and possesses the frame and skillset to handle high-volume carries between the OTs. Turner- the top-ranked San Diego RB in PRZ CA’s 2025 rankings- should continue to add to his current offer list (Cornell, Georgetown) with the high-level production he’s showing as a senior.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Quick and explosive back with a strong compact frame at 5’8” 185 lbs. Gets downhill and attacks the line quickly to accelerate through the hole and put pressure on second level defenders. He’s a tough inside runner that can lower his shoulder and extend gains after contact. He’s got good balance, pad level, and leg drive to fight through contact and break tackles. Also has the speed and elusiveness to turn the corner on the outside. Flashes good awareness and vision to know where defenders are and sets up his quick lateral cuts to make them miss in the open field. Strong and sustained second gear to breakaway from defenders and finish off runs in the endzone. Finished the 2023 season with over 1,100 yards and 17 touchdowns leading his team to the San Diego Open Division Championship and being voted Second Team All-CIF. High academic prospect with offers from Cornell and Georgetown so far with the ability to add more D1 programs. RB MVP of the SoCal National Preps Showcase.

Turner ran through the individual drills with a smoothness that made him stand out.
He has added some muscle since I saw him last season and is light on his feet.
Turner has an offer from Cornell.
