Myles Turpin is a reliable, ascending Wake Forest safety with special-teams grit
In the 2025 season, Myles Turpin emerged as a useful rotational defender for Wake Forest, finishing with 24 total tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, and no interceptions, while also logging meaningful special-teams work[7]. Wake Forest listed him as a redshirt freshman after he played in nine games in 2024, and the staff noted a season-high 13 snaps against Clemson that year[10]. The appeal here is simple: he brings size, physicality, and coach-trusted versatility in the secondary, plus the kind of blue-collar effort that makes a depth piece hard to keep off the field[10][15].
