Turner was the Eagles’ placekicker in 1999 and 2000 after sharing the duties with a senior in 1998. During his career, he made 28 of 38 field goals, for 73.7 percent, second best all-time, and 84 of 90 extra points for 93.3 percent, third all-time.  His 57-yard field goal in his final home game in 2000 is the longest in school history.  He also booted a 52-yarder that season as well as a 48-yarder in the Division II playoff game vs. Cal State Davis and put 64 of his 108 kickoffs in the end zone. In addition, Turner kicked a 20-yard field goal late in the game that allowed the West to tie the score in the Cactus Bowl in January 2001.  He was Second-Team all-RMAC as a junior and First-Team as well as Second-Team West Regional as a senior. He also was a three-year basketball letterman, including the 1999-2000 team that had a 19-8 record. He owns an insurance business in his hometown. He and his wife, Kyle, have three daughters.
