Turner has already accepted his invitation to the Senior Bowl, so his decision not to take advantage of the 2020 eligibility freeze is no surprise. Given the hardships he's dealt with over the course of his career in Blacksburg, and particularly this season, it perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise that he's hanging 'em up one game early.

With the decision to move on, he finishes his career fifth all time in receptions (134) and yards (2,292) in Virginia Tech history. His senior year, he caught 40 passes for a team-high 675 yards - though it's possible that teammate Tayvion Robinson, who already has four more catches on the year, surpasses him with a big game in the bowl.
