He is only a sophomore.... 
With his film, if he can grow about 2-3 inches by the time he gets to college he is a top 10 player in the country...No doubt about it...
Kid is a stud...

Turner is a beast! As mentioned earlier, the scary thing is that he is just scratching the surface. Despite being a smaller school, Ursuline plays top knotch competition all year round, so Turner is battle tested for sure.

Let me preface this stating that this is my first post on this site. I will also say that I've followed recruiting extremely closely for the past 24-30 months or so, watched hundreds of prospects videos, and have a pretty solid football background.
With that said, I think that Jamel Turner is a top 10 prospect for 2010, an absolute stud. I just watched his highlight video, and it compelled me to actually register for this site that I look at several times per day, but have never actually felt the need to join. He is fast, sheds blocks well, quick first step, and has a high football IQ. Just watch when he drops into the flats to defend against an RB bubble or screen, he just seems to know what he's doing all the time. He's a stud, and hopefully he wants to be a Buckeye...

Welcome, nice first post.
Turner obviously looks very good. He seems like a sure fire early offer. However, I am curious where he actually fits in in college. Unless he grows quite a bit (possible since he is still young), he may be a bit small to play DE every down. Could he be a LB?
He could end up being a guy like Thaddeus Gibson who takes some time to find a place. I like Thaddeus also and think he is a good player. A guy I'm glad to have on my team. But, he isn't a top 10, instant impact type guy.
I guess my question for those who know more about these type of things is, how do you rank a guy in the top 10 nationally if you aren't quite sure what position he ends up at and if he will be an early impact guy?

Turner has some bad tendencies, spinning the people he is tackling, and some areas for improvements, quicker first step, but if he could improve the little things I could see him as mabye even the top prospect in 2010. All he needs to do is bulk up and put up even more sacks and I can't see how he wouldn't be top 10
