“I’m just taking it all in right now and it’s still hard to believe that I made it this far. I am honored to be able to get my foot in the door, but I’m nowhere near satisfied,” Turner said via AlcornSports.com. “I want to go in with my head down, play hard, work my way up the roster and just ball out.
