  08/14/21 - FS Nolan TurnerrSr/2022, Clemson

  As Clemson safety Nolan Turner joined reporters for a post-practice interview, it was only a matter of time before a joke was flung his way. It seems like he's been on the team for 10 years, a reporter quipped. "Something like that," the 23-year-old Alabama native said with a smirk. "It feels like it." Turner's football career at Clemson has become something like a remake of Groundhog Day. It started in 2016 as a true freshman and was supposed to end in 2020 as a fifth-year senior. And he played the '20 campaign like it was his last. He played to an All-American level, in fact, only to have the NCAA grant seniors another year due to the pandemic.

So there Turner stood at the start of fall practice last week, back in his Clemson uniform, joking with reporters about the never-ending quality of his college career. Before the season is over, on Nov. 29, Turner will turn 24. Needless to say, nothing is new to him. "My mindset is I'm locked in, it's just another year," Turner said. "I was telling some guys earlier today, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." That locked-in mindset is what Clemson coach Dabo Swinney expects of "super seniors" like Turner, fifth- and sixth-year athletes who now populate his roster. While there are youngsters at important positions, like D.J. Uiagalelei at quarterback, this may be Swinney's most experienced team. There are 23 seniors on the roster, including 16 who are already graduate students. Turner, linebacker James Skalski, and punter Will Spiers all started their careers in 2016, meaning they have seen Clemson appear in three national title games, winning two of them. - Charleston Post Courier
