Sophmore film.

My take: This is 21's area of expertise, but I honestly was fairly impressed considering this is a sophmore playing DE at 6-3. If he continues to grow I would not be surprised to see this kid be highly recruited. Shows great athleticism and obviously has some strength as well. Seems to have a nose for the ball. Rivals lists him as a LB but I think he will grow into a DE.

From the Ursuline/SVSM game:

Ursuline then went on an 11-play drive that ended with a play-action McQueen pass to sophomore tight end Jamel Turner.

After holding the Bears on downs after the second fumble, the Irish gave Waynedale a steady dose of Mason - mixing in a 41-yard pass play from McQueen to Jamel Turner for good measure - to drive 75 yards in eight plays, giving Ursuline a 6-3 lead.

Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan have traditionally been the big three among Midwest college football. Over the years they have battled it out on the field but even more on the recruiting front.

For the most part, the recruiting battles between the three are over for the Class of 2009. Ohio State already has 25 class of 2009 verbal commitments, while Michigan and Notre Dame each have more than half of their 2009 classes filled.

However battles are already brewing for a number of Class of 2010 prospects. Two such prospects are linebacker Jamel Turner (Youngstown, Ohio/Ursuline) and safety/linebacker Marvin Robinson (Eagle Lake, Fla./Lake Region).

The 6-foot-2 and 215-pound Turner, who recorded 23 sacks during his sophomore season, recently received scholarship offers from Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford and Nebraska. He already had offers from Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Wisconsin and Akron.

Turner is not close to selecting a college and says he has no leader, but it would not be surprising to see his decision come down to Ohio State, Notre Dame or Michigan. Turner plans to attend the Penn State-Ohio State game in Columbus. He also says he will attend a Notre Dame game and possibly a game at Michigan.

"I really didn't have a favorite school growing up," Turner said. "All of this recruiting stuff is new to me."

Vindy.com article about PSU QB Daryll Clark who also went to Ursuline

Clark, who has two brothers, Keith and Darnell, said UHS junior Jamel Turner will be visiting to see the Illinois game (8 p.m. Sept. 28).

What's going on with Turner? Is he favoring OSU?

[wadc45]

The talk seems to be about Illinois and OSU so far but I think he is a LONG way away from deciding anything...

[panther10]

on his rivals profile he seems too weak to play DE against those big burly lineman in the Big Ten so I hope he has good speed

He most likely projects as a OLB...and he is not too weak to play in the Big 10 or he wouldn't have offers from just about everyone...

[panther10]

he must be weak if he projects as a OLB you can't play DE and only bench 200 I play FS and im in the 10th grade and I bench 235!

From the OSU site...talks about his team's 7-0 start...has offers from the likes of Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, LSU, South Carolina, Illinois, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Stanford and Nebraska...focused on this team's season rather than recruiting.
