AndyDufresne Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 You can find the box score for his 9/3/10 game. Again his school is Arlington Sam Houston http://www.dallasnews.com/highschoolsports/leaderboard/scheduleScores.html Thanks for the link. Not a bad game for Jamal. His team doesn't appear to have any other weapons (or any defense). Link to comment

bbeerma2 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I always wonder how many dropped balls there are that are catchable when you see these kinds of passing stats. I'm sure he could have been over 50% with better receivers. Link to comment

NoLongerN Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The Turner effect coming to Lincoln: October 16th, 2010. He will be our best recruiter that day. Bring home AG, Jamal! More and more, it appears that we should not be recruiting Jamal Turner as a QB ... he should be brought on staff as a recruiter from the start! :-) SheepdogMark Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Jamal had a great game last night Passing 16-40 188 yds Rushing 27-283 yds and 4 touchdowns Box Score 16 of 40??? Ummm....sounds like he's got the running part down at least. With our log jam at quarterback I'd really like to see him on the field in some aspect but not sure if I see him as a starting qb. Glad to have him all the same and look forward to seeing just how he gets utilized. Horrible news about his mother also. Link to comment

Jamal could be a good passer but just have receivers who can't create space or he likely faced numerous blitz packages forcing him to throw it quickly / away. Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Russell Sheppard. That is how Jamal hopefully is used. While learning the nuances of the QB position, let him run nuts on defenses as a slot receiver/scat back. If the QB thing doesn't play out how he hopes, we'd have ourselves a playmaking freak that could line up anywhere. Oh the mismatches....even a Barney Cotton type OC wouldn't be able to screw that up.

whateveritis1224 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I've been wanting Turner to be our own little Percy Harvin ever since Martinez has shown that he can be our starting QB this year. Give him all the chances to win the starting QB job (best player gets to play) but if he doesn't win it, utilize him like Florida did Percy Harvin. Link to comment

YUM YUM As generic a statement as this may sound, it is never a bad thing when you get athletes of this calibur that can play multiple positions on your football team. Who cares if we may have a log jam at QB for awhile, get him on the field. Link to comment

Nexus Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 ARLINGTON – Just a little more than a month ago, on the last Thursday in August, Arlington Sam Houston quarterback Jamal Turner was starting his morning like he had done so many others in his life by playing football. This was supposed to be the start of several glorious days to come in a senior year filled with high expectations for the standout recruit who had already orally committed to Nebraska. Practicing with his teammates during first period, preparing for the Texans' season opener the next day at Crowley, Turner was stopped in his tracks when a police officer walked up to him and asked where his mother lived. Turner told the man the address, and the police officer delivered the bad news. Turner's 41-year-old mother, Rusty Turner, had died after an 11-year battle with multiple sclerosis. "I kind of blanked out for a minute," Turner recalled. "I had to sit there, and everything just stopped at that moment. It was crazy." Turner, who primarily lived with his uncle and aunt, Darnell and Jennifer Robinson, had just visited his mom the previous Tuesday at her apartment. "I had left practice to see her. I went over and got something to drink and talked to her for five minutes," Turner said. "One day she'd be perfectly fine and the other day she'd have bad migraines and wouldn't be feeling well. It was really hard. Sometimes I couldn't talk to her because she was in so much pain. But on that Tuesday, she was doing really well. She was happy and up playing with me and laughing. I kissed her on the cheek and told her that I love her." With the season opener the next day, Turner had to decide whether to sit out the game or play. After talking with his family and coaches, Turner decided that his mother would have wanted him to play. The next night, with a heavy heart and memories of his mother racing through his head, Turner led Sam Houston to a thrilling 51-48 victory over Crowley. Turner had the game of his life, rushing for 324 yards and five touchdowns and passing for 119 yards and another touchdown. "I knew that she would not want me to sit around and mope and cry," Turner said. "We won, and I feel like that was God telling me, 'Everything is OK,' and she's in a better place and a lot better now. It was a good choice to play." Turner (6-0, 175) is in his third season as Sam Houston's starting quarterback under coach Danny Edelman. In four games this season, Turner has used his 4.4 speed to rush for 948 yards – 140 more than any other Class 5A area player – and 15 touchdowns. He's also passed for 515 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, Turner passed and rushed for more than 1,800 yards each, combining for 32 touchdowns. As a sophomore, he passed for 2,611 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushed for 442 yards and nine scores. "Jamal is a superstar," said Sam Houston senior offensive lineman Tony Morales, who has committed to Texas Tech. "With the ball in his hands, he can do whatever he wants. His change of direction is so good. He's incredible." Turner's mother watched several of his big games, but his oldest brother, Richard Williams, never had that chance. Three years before his mother died, Turner dealt with tragedy for the first time. During his freshman year, he had to attend the funeral of Williams, who at 21 died in a motorcycle accident in Arlington. "I've always told him despite what he's going through, take the negative and turn it into a positive," said Darnell Robinson, the youth pastor at Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Grand Prairie who taught Turner how to play football and served as his father figure. "He takes all of his negative hurt and just focuses on the task at hand." Edelman said Turner, who plans to graduate in December and be on campus for Nebraska's spring practices, is a remarkable young man who was born to lead. "He's been accountable to every kid and every coach in this program. We couldn't be any prouder of him," Edelman said. "We met with Jamal the day his mother passed. Without me being able to say anything, he said, 'Coach, I'm playing tomorrow night.' Again, it just goes back to one of the characteristics this young man has, being able to persevere through some pretty serious situations." Though he's had to deal with the death of his oldest brother and mother, Turner said he's living a dream every day by playing football. He used to sneak into Sam Houston's games as a child and always wanted to play for the Texans. The tragedy in his life has only strengthened him. "A lot of times, I want to give up and quit or cry, but what I've been through has made me a stronger person," he said. "And it's hard. I still cry. When I'm alone, I think about it a lot. But from my experiences, it's going to help me out in the long run." LINK Link to comment
