Looks like he's committing to Alabama in a couple hours.

Mike Elston got around to offering him 28 days ago, apparently in reaction to #335 overall David Abiara's news of likely decommitting and committing to OU.

Turner is an elite DE with strong grades from a program with which ND has history...and Elston and staff didn't even bother to recruit him.

An excerpt from a recent interview with Turner (247 Sports):

"One of the coaches (Director of Recruiting Aaryn Kearney) had been in touch with me since my freshman year,” said Turner. “He got in touch not too long ago again and he was touching base with me and asking about my grades. I showed him I had a 4.0 GPA. The defensive line coach (Mike Elston) texted me later on that day and then they gave me the offer."
