After missing most of his sophomore season due to injury, Harrisonburg (VA) offensive tackle Landon Turner returned in strong fashion as a junior in 2009. Turner, a 6-5, 310-pound prospect, was recently named to the AP Group AA first-team all-state squad. He will now take his talents to San Antonio, where he will compete against some of the country's other top juniors at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Junior Combine on January 7th.
"I'm looking forward to new competition and getting outside of the Massanutten district competition," said Turner, who is one of a handful of in-state juniors making the trip to San Antonio. Other confirmed in-state participants include Dinwiddie quarterback Chris Hall, Dinwiddie defensive lineman Corey Marshall and Bayside cornerback Demetrious Nicholson.
