HOOK ‘EM | 5-Star OT John Turntine III Commits to Texas

[CJ Vogel]

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.

This is a huge get! He's got all it takes to be a future star at LT. Very exciting about him committing to the good guys. Hook'em John and welcome to the 40. 🤘

I'm hoping this turns out to be similar to the situation years back with Bijan and the guy from Northshore. Can't remember his name.

Turntine has been the top guy for Flood for about two full years now.

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.
