Jack Turner News, Rumors, Updates - Louisiana Tech Bulldogs | FOX Sports

Gets back in the action Turner went 8-for-15 for 59 yards against Sam Houston on Tuesday.

Impact With Evan Bullock looking lackluster, and with this game competitive until the end, the Bulldogs gave Turner another look. He did no better than Bullock, and the Bulldogs lost, so it should be back to the bench for the former starter.

Not expected to start Turner is not expected to be Louisiana Tech's starter under center for Saturday's game against FIU, Ben Carlisle of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Turner is expected to slide to the bench with Evan Bullock seeing the majority of first-team reps during practice this week. The 6-foot-5 redshirt junior has appeared in three games this season, throwing for 392 yards (30-of-58), two touchdowns and two interceptions. With the two quarterbacks listed as co-starters for this week it remains to be seen how LA Tech intends to manage the position this week.

Listed as co-starter Turner is listed as a co-starter on Louisiana Tech's Week 5 depth chart, and the Bulldogs haven't decided on a starter for Saturday against Florida International, Matt Belinson of...

Impact Turner was replaced late in Louisiana Tech's loss to Tulsa by Evan Bullock, and now both players are listed at the starting quarterback spot. Turner's job security appears to be growing slimmer by the day, and Bullock is breathing down his neck for the starting role. It's unclear who will trot out as the starter against the Panthers, but this is a sure sign Turner's grasp on the starting role is seriously weakening.

Has no grip on gig Turner went 7-for-14 for 41 yards against Tulsa on Saturday in a game that saw La Tech play three quarterbacks.

Impact Turner was the starter when the season began, but he also did the least of the three quarterbacks to go for the Bulldogs in this one. It's kind of a mess for La Tech right now, and if you think you have a read on this QB situation heading into a trip to FIU, you may be the only one.

Throws TD, INT Turner went 19-for-36 for 281 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against NC State on Saturday. He also ran five times for 21 yards.

Impact Turner got hurt in La Tech's opener against Nicholls, so this was about him returning to health and getting a chance to finish a game and get in rhythm. Not only that, but he was on the road against an ACC team. Given that, this actually suffices totally fine for Turner and the Bulldogs.

Set to start Saturday Turner (undisclosed) is slated to start Saturday's game versus NC State, KNOE reports.

Impact Turner was unable to give it a go last week after exiting early in the opener, but it appears he'll be back in action for the Bulldogs in a tough matchup versus an ACC opponent. Turner finished out 2023 with a 56.8 completion percentage on 148 pass attempts, throwing for 1,017 yards and a 5:5 TD:INT ratio over eight appearances.

Listed atop depth chart Turner (knee) is listed as Louisiana Tech's starter ahead of Saturday's matchup with NC State, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact Turner, who exited the Bulldogs' season opener against Nicholls State with a knee injury, appears ready to roll for Week 3's matchup with the Wolfpack. The 6-foot-5 junior's status will continue to be monitored heading into this weekend with Blake Baker the likely backup should he be unable to suit up.

Early exit Saturday Turner was forced to exit early during Saturday's contest against Nicholls State, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact Turner took a trip to the medical tent after taking a hit during the first half of the game. After returning from the locker during halftime, the 6-foot-5 quarterback was observed not wearing his helmet while fellow signal-caller Evan Bullock took snaps.

Officially named starter Turner has officially been named Louisiana Tech's starting quarterback, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact This move comes as little surprise, as Turner was the Bulldogs' starter throughout spring camp. The gunslinger had an up-and-down 2023 campaign, tossing for 1,017 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 56.8 percent of his passes. Still, Turner did enough to stave off his fellow quarterbacks on the roster like Evan Bullock this offseason, and will open the season as Louisiana Tech's top option.

No. 1 QB for spring Turner is Louisiana Tech's primary quarterback for the spring, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact While there is still time for competition so that fellow quarterbacks like Evan Bullock have a chance to be Louisiana Tech's primary QB, Turner will have the honor for spring. He completed 56.8 percent of 148 passes for 1,017 yards and a 5:5 TD:INT ratio during 2023. Cumbie also logged two touchdowns on the ground using 29 carries for 61 yards.
