Bang!

Add five more stars to the 2026 class for the Texas Longhorns!

2026 North Crowley OT John Turntine III has committed to Steve Sarkisian and Kyle Flood over Michigan, Stanford and Texas A&M.

Turntine has been atop of the Longhorns' big board essentially from the start of the 2026 class. The Longhorns also hosted Turntine and his family on more visits than any other school in the recruitment. 

There are some questions about where Turntine may play at the next level, largely due to an unconventional frame at the moment, but the plan has been and will be to use Turntinee as a tackle.
Speaking of Turntine's abilities, his punch and quickness laterally are tremendous.

This is a big win for the Horns as Turntine becomes the 18th member of the class and the third offensive linemen in the 2026 cycle.

    Just another future great Horn with the intangibles: heart, smarts, character, hard worker! Sark ensures that his recruits fit the culture of winning.

    Welcome to the 40 Mr. Turntine. Attending the University of Texas at Austin was one of the best decisions of my life. I trust that it will be for you as well. Hook'em!  🤘🤠 🇨🇱

    I am excited about Turntine joining this class. He is technically sound, which says a lot about the potential upside for his time at UT. However, I still don’t believe he is 270 lbs, he looks closer to 250 lbs. 

    He weighed 268 on OV to Texas in June. 270 at Stanford in June.

    What do you guys think his playing weight will be? 

    300-305

    IMO think Kelvin Beachum (6-3, 305) and Calvin Anderson (6-4.5, 305) with elite athleticism. 

    Turntine is 6-3 5/8 with 81-82 inch wing span, 33 5/8 inch arms and 10 inch hands. 

    He's a 600 pound squatter right now at 270 pounds. He's uber athletic and strong considering how much more weight/strength he will add to his frame.

    That being the case and I have no reason to doubt you Gerry, he is a lot denser physically than he looks.

    Yep. Think it’s he got a lot of muscle weight.

    Goosby was light when he got here. Turntine doesn’t have to start as a freshman. He will put on necessary mass to be a beast.

    I have seen him play for 2 years straight. Plan on going to his games this year.
