Mitchell Turner's frame, movement skills, and background as a stat-stuffing defensive lineman at the high school level remind us of Jer'Zhan Newton. Both were athletic, disruptive pass rushers at around 6-foot-1.5. Turner is heaver at the same stage. 

Dynamic, coordinated defensive lineman who makes plays behind the line of scrimmage at a high rate. Measured at 6-foot-1.5, 285 pounds with arms a shade under 33 inches prior to his senior season. Turned in a dominant junior campaign, racking up an astounding 41 tackles for loss and 15.5 sacks. A loose, coordinated athlete with an innate understanding of leverage. Stays low and is tough to block off the ball. Has high-end lateral agility and makes offensive linemen whiff in a phone booth. Compact base with natural balance and bend. A good athlete and hunts down plays once in the backfield. Also shows the ability to anchor and eat blocks as a run defender. Size is below average for a top defensive line prospect, but the film and overall skill set makes him one of the top prospects at the position in the cycle entering his senior season.
