  01/08/23 - CB *DJ TurnerrJr/2023, Michigan

  The first real decision is in...and D.J. Turner has decided to go pro. Michigan's senior defensive back announced plans Friday to enter the 2023 NFL Draft, the first of several players mulling a departure. In an announcement on social media, the 6-foot, 180-pound Turner says he's dreamed since the age of 6 "of one day playing in the NFL." "I have chosen to forego my final years of eligibility and enter the 2023 NFL Draft," Turner wrote. Technically speaking, Turner had two more years of eligibility remaining despite playing four years at Michigan, a tenure that included his redshirt season in 2018 and the pandemic-shortened season of '20.

But the two-time all-Big Ten selection felt it was time and that he's shown NFL scouts enough to warrant a look. Turner appeared in 35 games during his Michigan career, starting 21 of them as a cornerback. He was a second-team all-conference selection by the coaches this season, posting a career-high 36 tackles (one for a loss), an interception and 11 pass breakups. The Suwanee, Ga., native started all 14 games for the Wolverines this season and became a reliable option in a defensive backfield that was leaned on often. Turner had four tackles, three by himself, in the win over arch rival Ohio State and two pass breakups in Michigan's win over Purdue in the Big Ten championship. - Ann Arbor News
