Michael Turner is beginning to gain a lot of interest in the South. Auburn HS (AL) features a few of the nations' top recruits, and the 2014 defensive lineman Turner is grinding to get his name out there.
Football in Alabama is a big deal. The state is home to the defending national champion Crimson Tide. A major reason for that success is their access to a hotbed of talent in the area. One such standout is Auburn High (AL) defensive end Darian Yancey.
The 6'0 213 pound pass rusher has been terrorizing opposing quarterbacks throughout his football career. Yancey had 7.5 sacks last season for the Tigers. The 2014 recruit recently landed an offer from South Alabama.
In addition to the South Alabama offer, Yancey has received interest from several major SEC programs.
