Vikings' Dallas Turner dubbed 'must-watch' during Vikings training camp
EDGE defender Dallas Turner didn't have the type of rookie season most expected when the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select him with the 17th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. He registered three snaps on 310 defensive snaps, playing a rotational role most of the season. That wasn't all Turner's fault. Starters Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel earned Pro Bowl nods after combining for 23.5 sacks. Turner will be counted on to produce in 2025, but will that come at the expense of pulling Greenard and Van Ginkel off the field? How the Vikings line Turner up is one of the top priorities for Alec Lewis to watch for this training camp, he wrote in The Athletic. Turner needs more playing time for multiple reasons. It's not just that the Vikings traded a boatload of draft capital to acquire him in 2024; it's also that Van Ginkel and Jonathan Greenard aren't likely to be able to sustain the workload they contributed last year. Turner's explosiveness should provide Flores a new card to pull to confound quarterbacks. Physically, Turner can do just about everything. Flores' willingness to move him around the field in training camp and beyond will be telling. Greenard and Van Ginkel terrorized quarterbacks in 2024, but the Vikings had to manufacture ways to get the rest of the defense involved. Turner could provide a needed spark off the EDGE if he substitutes in for one of them. However, being aligned over guards or centers and blitzing, a la Micah Parsons, could add a new element to the defense without sacrificing Greenard and Van Ginkel. The Vikings will give Turner every opportunity to play in 2025 by lining him up at various positions. Let's see if he's up to the task.

Elite 4-Star Texas Target Predicted to Snub Longhorns for In-State Big 12 Rival
Elite 4-Star Texas Target Predicted to Snub Longhorns for In-State Big 12 Rival originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the 2026 recruiting class, the Texas Longhorns have landed just two top-15 in-state prospects, per On3 Industry Rankings, in the form of offensive lineman John Turntine and athlete Jermaine Bishop Jr. Advertisement However, there are a number of players they're still pursuing, with one of the biggest being EDGE Jamarion Carlton, who they've had for a total of six visits. including an official one on June 6. The Longhorns are certainly in the mix, as the pass rusher previously announced the four finalists as he's deciding among the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the LSU Tigers and the Baylor Bears. Unfortunately for Texas, though, on Thursday, On3's Steve Wiltfong logged an expert prediction for Carlton to remain in-state, but instead choose Baylor. Advertisement Baylor Bears head coach Dave Aranda is predicted to land EDGE Jamarion Carlton.© Christopher Hanewinckel-Imagn Images Of course, for the Bears, this would serve as an impressive win, with On3 Industry Rankings placing Carlton as a four-star recruit, the No. 8 EDGE, the No. 5 player in Texas and the No. 44 player in the nation. At the high school level, he's proven to be an effective player, recording 86 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 20 hurries, eight sacks, one interception and one forced fumble the last two seasons for the Temple Wildcats. Carlton would be one of the biggest additions for Baylor's 2026 recruiting class, which as of now holds 14 commitments, ranking No. 7 in the Big 12 and No. 47 in the nation. Advertisement He also isn't the only in-state recruit that the Bears and Longhorns find themselves duking it out for, as each is looking to land four-star wide receiver Jordan Clay. Baylor is also favored in that battle as well, with the On3 recruiting prediction machine giving them the best chance (73.7%) to receive his commitment, while Texas is considerably behind at 23.1%.
