Michigan kicker James Turner was the 2023 team’s pleasant surprise

Placekicker was supposed to be one of the 2023 Michigan team’s big question marks heading into the season, and for good reason with Jake Moody leaving. Enter James Turner, who spent four years at Louisville before returning home. The Saline (Mich.) native isn’t fond of interviews or being in the spotlight, but he earned them all in converting 18-of-21 field goals with a 50-yard long and a perfect 12-of-12 mark inside 40 yards.
