USF’s steady snap specialist with award-level freshman tape
Turner McLaughlin is a reliable special-teams anchor for South Florida in the 2026 season: the 6-foot-1, 225-pound redshirt sophomore transferred in after a breakout 2024 at Tennessee Tech, where he played in 12 games, handled 118 snaps, made two tackles, and earned FCS Freshman All-America plus First Team All-Big South/OVC honors. He’s the kind of low-drama, high-trust long snapper coaches love—technically polished, game-tested, and already proven in field-goal, PAT, and punt work. If your team wants consistency, not headlines, he fits.
