Perhaps Nolan Turner has already seen everything there is to see at the collegiate level.

He has been a part of a National Championship winning team, he came up with the biggest interception of the year during the 2019 season when he sealed the win over Ohio State last December, and he has been one of the unquestioned leaders of this defense during his time.

Turner will get a shot with some NFL team, but he’s not likely to be drafted if he enters this year or if he comes back and plays another season. So, why come back?

He could return for one more year, potentially compete for another National Championship, earn a Master’s degree and give himself the most film possible to earn a shot at the next level.
