He tallied eight touchdowns rushing and 39 passing, shattering the record for total touchdowns in a season set by Mark Conrad in 1996 ... Turner's largest offensive effort came in a 42-37 victory over Dordt College on Oct. 8 after passing for 402 yards and three touchdowns, while tallying 204 yards on the ground and a score ... He passed Jon Bane in the DWU record books for passing yards in a season with 3,197 set in 2011 ... Turner sits 1,920 yards shy of the career passing record, also set by Jon Bane from 2010-13 ... He helped the Tigers secure two more records during the 2016 season ... Turner and Co. broke the record for total offensive yards in a season with 5,694, almost 1,000 more yards than the record of 4,547 set in 2013 ... The Tiger offense also broke the record for total passing yards in a season with 3,229 as the previous record of 2,944 yards was set in 2011.

Sophomore (2015): Finished a phenomenal second season with the Tigers … named the GPAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week for his performance against Briar Cliff, went 17-of-28 passing for 317 yards and also carried the ball 19 times for 122 yards … also named GPAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week for his performance against Midland, as he finished the game with 257 yards on 19-of-34 passing and carried the ball 19 times for 110 yards … selected to the All-GPAC Second Team offense … accounted for 3,255 total yards in his second season … passed for 2,370 yards and ran for 889 more, while accounting for 35 total touchdowns … more than doubled his passing touchdown total and cut his interceptions in half from his freshman season.
