A Clemson wide receiver is out for the rest of the 2023 season.
Sophomore wide receiver Cole Turner tore three adductor muscles in his hip area in the Tigers’ 48-14 win over FAU on Saturday night and is out for the year, head coach Dabo Swinney announced on Sunday.
“Really hate that for him,” Swinney said of Turner’s injury. “Again, a kid we felt like was on his way to a big-time year this year. But good news for him, he’s got his whole career in front of him. He knows he can do it. So, just heart breaks because he’s worked really hard, and I know what he brings to the table. But again, we’ll have a lot of great days with Cole Turner in the years to come. But definitely going to miss him.”
Turner, who had a promising finish to the 2022 season, will finish this year with three receptions for 28 yards. He caught one pass for seven yards on Saturday before he ultimately went down with the injury on a deep pass intended for him.
Dabo Swinney, on his Sunday call, says that sophomore WR Cole Turner is out for the year after tearing three adductor (hip-area) muscles against FAU. "This kid is gonna be a superstar … Really hate that for him. Part of his story." Says Turner has his whole career ahead of him
