After a heartbreaking recruiting loss early on the Fourth of July, the Texas Longhorns 2026 recruiting class got a big win with the commitment of four-star offensive tackle John Turntine III. The prospect from North Crowley High School told the coaching staff was a big reason he chose to play in Austin. "I really appreciate the coaches being real. They're good people too. I can tell they're genuine people. They're here for their job and to get players developed and to get players better." -- John Turntine III to OrangeBloods ($) The 6-foot-3.5, 285 pound prospect is the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the country and No. 4 overall prospect in Texas, according to Texas beat out Michigan, Stanford, Texas A&M and Alabama.

Michigan football elite 2026 OL target John Turntine III sets commitment date

Decision making #TINE for @TurntineJohn on July 4th.!!! Until then NO MoE Talking.!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you son @TurntineJohn . Keep stacking days.!!!! Where is HOME? 🏠 #Teamturntine @KaiTurntine6 @Tylin_Turntine @UnclePimp28 @pimpton_renae @KWhitley20 @DerrusWilson Michigan football has one offensive lineman committed thus far in the 2026 recruiting class, but with official visit season now in the rearview, now it waits to see who else it can muster. The Wolverines have Cartersville (Ga.) Cass four-star interior OL Bear McWhorter in the fold, but they put their best foot forward with multiple prospects along the front. One of the top prospects that the maize and blue are in on is 2026 Fort Worth (Tx.) North Crowley four-star interior offensive lineman John Turntine III. Turntine visited Ann Arbor the first official visit weekend on May 30, but has since kept things close to the vest. But that won't be the case for long. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Turntine's father announced that his son will be making his commitment on July 4, thus ending the saga. He's currently got two predictions that he'll end up at Texas. Here's the scouting report on Turntine via 247Sports: High-level offensive lineman who could possibly play multiple roles in college. Displays impressive movement ability coupled with obvious strength and sudden power. On-schedule traveler who gets wherever needed in any given scenario. A bit tight-ankled but generally quick-footed. Excels at climbing and engaging in space at the second level. Promising multi-sport profile with discus prowess pushing 160-foot plateau. Gets out over his feet at times and can play with better bend. Showed year-over-year improvement in body control compared to sophomore season. Played a key role for a Texas 6A D-I state championship team in 2024. Dropped significant weight from sophomore to junior season, but continues to re-add good mass entering senior campaign. Projects as a high-major lineman with tackle athleticism but elite guard potential who could develop into a candidate for the top half of the draft down the road. Turntine is rated the No. 36 player in the country, regardless of position, by the 247Sports Composite. It's thought to be a battle between the Longhorns, Wolverines, and Stanford for his services. Michigan is also looking to add offensive tackles Malakai Lee, Zaden Krempin, Felix Ojo, Kelvin Obot, and Marky Walbridge while the interior targets include Turntine, Jax Tanner, and Claude Mpouma.
