As a junior, Jordan Turner was playing ball for state finalist, Lynchburg (Va.) Liberty Christian Academy. From his starting strong safety position, he had an outstanding junior campaign.

Turner has Army in his top five list. Click here to see what is unfolding with his overall recruiting and his recent move to Maryland.

Jordan went to Richmond, Friday on a unofficial visit and will go to UCONN in late April/early February.

Liberty Christian transfer Turner looking to take TJ by storm

Jordan Turner had only been at Thomas Johnson for two weeks, but he made quite an early impression. On his first day at his new school, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound safety, who transferred from Liberty Christian in Lynchburg, Va., was already in the weight room pumping iron.

"With him moving up here he hadn't trained in a bout a month, but the very first day he really went after it," said Thomas Johnson coach Ben Wright. "I can already tell he works real hard. He's been pretty quiet, but he's got that 'eye of the tiger' look. He's pretty intense from what I can tell."

He'll be making an official visit to LU next Friday on his way to Nike Camp at VT.

Here are some colleges that have had coaches drop by Jordan's school to check him out during the spring evaluation period:

• Maryland
  Monmouth
  Villanova
  Temple
  Towson State
  Rutgers
  WVU
  Boston College
  Texas Tech
  Navy

He's at camp at Williams Stadium tomorrow.

Rivals has given a 2-star rating.

Incidentally you may have seen him around campus the past week or so. He is good friends with LCA LB Ray Jones and he stayed down in Lynchburg to be there for him following the horrific accident that took Ray's mom & brother.

Jordan was rated one of the top 100 prospects in Maryland

Also rated as a Top 30 DB in Maryland

Apparently Jordan is now at a prep school in New York and is back on our radar for 2012.

What is he a nomad?

Maybe...but often times players will go to prep school in order to draw some looks from a lot more D-I FBS level programs (or high D-I FCS). A lot of the coaches know that you can get some pretty solid talent from those schools (and some coaches send recruits to those schools to get themselves squared away academically as well...)

Nomad? Not quite. Looking to earn a schollie at a school where he can thrive for 4 years? Yes. Academics? Solid, qualified.

Jordan going to prep school brings some BCS schools back into play for him but he really desires to come home and play in front of family for 4 years. So, we will see.

The coaches their see him as a D-1 talent now he gets a chance to prove it . Milford Prep plays a D-1AA javee schedule, so he will get to see quickly what he is suited for, cause the film won't lie.

rt's right...for good players prep schools, like Milford, Hargrave, Fork Union and a host of others...prep schools are your last real shot at getting a look from D-I programs...if he doesnt do well there, his options are going to be pretty limited

The thing that bodes well for the young man is that Milford never would have taken him if he did not have the potential to compete at the D-1 level. To quote, the Eagles, Lesean McCoy(Milford Grad) "I came here as a boy and I left as a man."

Jordan is gaining interest from FBS schools with a great season at Milford but still has us in his Top 5 ...

NEW BERLIN, N.Y. -- Milford Prep Academy is a post-graduate school tucked away in New Berlin, a small town of just over 1,000 people in upstate New York. But in this small town there are big things happening for prep athletes seeking to play Division-I football, including three former Maryland high school stars

Verbally committed to Wagner per Rivals but I have a feeling he is still ours for the taking if the new staff makes a play.
