HART TURNER Tight End 2000 / 2003 Spartanburg, SC

Biography

An all-state defensive end and tight end at Dorman High School, Turner picked the Gamecocks over an offer from Northwestern after playing in the 1999 state championship game. He had college football bloodlines, as his grandfather, Jack Beeler, was a quarterback at Wofford, and his father Rocky played for Tennessee-Chattanooga and for two seasons with the New York Jets. Turner was named all-region, all-state and played in the North-South All-Star Game as a senior, while also being named to The Charlotte Observer’s South Carolina Top 25 in 1999. He caught 16 passes, including five touchdowns, while at Dorman. He worked largely as a backup his first two seasons, catching one pass for three yards against Alabama as a freshman. Turner took over as a starter in 2002 and though he wasn’t used as a passing target often he did catch a 26-yard touchdown pass from Corey Jenkins in the 34-10 win over Mississippi State that year. He became a bigger factor as a senior, catching three passes in games against UAB, Louisiana-Lafayette and Vanderbilt and also scoring on a receiption against Tennessee. Turner was one of the team captains for the 2003 season. He went on to play with the Miami Dolphins in 2004 and the Cologne Centurions of NFL Europe in 2005. He is now in medical sales in the Spartanburg area.
