There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start less than 100 days from now.
Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.
Here is No. 32 for Oklahoma.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Name: Delarrin Turner-Yell
Number: No. 32
Year: Junior
Position: Safety
Hometown: Hempstead, TX
Height/Weight: 5-foot-10, 193 pounds
Delarrin Turner-Yell quickly emerged as one of Oklahoma’s top defenders last season.
A three-star recruit out of Hempstead, Texas, he had nine Division I offers. He committed to Baylor in April, 2017, and after an unofficial visit with Oklahoma in July, de-committed on August 17 and pledged to the Sooners nine days later.
Turner-Yell saw vast improvement from his freshman to sophomore season. After finishing with just seven tackles in four games in 2018, he amassed 60 solo tackles in his sophomore campaign. His 75 total tackles ranked second only to Kenneth Murray on Alex Grinch’s defense. He was as consistent as safety’s come in an offensive driven league.
After suffering a broken collarbone in the Big 12 Championship against Baylor last season, Turner-Yell sat out of the Peach Bowl against LSU. Next season, he’ll enter as one of the top returning defensive backs in the Big 12, and will look to propel himself into the early rounds of the NFL Draft.
