Zack Turner brings explosive red-zone upside to SMU
Turner is a fast-rising 2026 freshman TE for SMU who profiles as a flexible matchup problem: he has lined up inline, in the slot, and out wide, and his high-school production was elite in 2024 with 58 catches for 933 yards and 16 TDs. His biggest differentiators are run-after-catch burst, big-play savvy, and enough blocking willingness to keep defenses honest—plus he’s already been labeled a P4-caliber tight end by recruiting evaluators. If you want a versatile, high-upside weapon who can stress the middle of the field and create mismatches, he’s absolutely worth your attention.
