Elite 2026 OT John Turntine narrows list to 10 schools

Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley 2026 offensive tackle John Turntine has narrowed his list of schools down to 10, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Turntine is considering Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, Stanford, Georgia, Oregon, Texas A&M, Missouri, Tennessee and SMU.

The 6-foot-3.5, 305-pound Turntine is the nation’s No. 16 overall prospect in the 2026 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 3 offensive tackle in the class and the No. 1 recruit from the state of Texas.

On3 is higher on Turntine than the other major recruiting services. He ranks No. 15 overall in the 2026 On300.

Back in the fall, several expert predictions were logged in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine favoring the in-state Texas Longhorns. Texas currently leads in the RPM with a 98.6-percent chance of landing Turntine.
