Landon Turner Losing Weight, Gaining Versatility

Posted Aug 21, 2013
Red-shirt sophomore guard Landon Turner continues to trim down his weight in an effort to not only thrive in Larry Fedora’s up-tempo spread attack, but also to maximize his versatility along UNC’s offensive line. Turner arrived in Chapel Hill as a January enrollee in 2011 in a pro-style setting where he expected his target weight to remain in the 335-to-345-pound range. (Inside Carolina)
