Billy Napier and Co. scored a big win in the college football transfer portal on Thursday when former Washington Huskies defensive back [autotag]Asa Turner[/autotag] decided to move across the country to join the Gators.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 200-pound safety originally out of Carlsbad, California, played in the final three games for the Huskies Washington but still missed enough time to earn a medical redshirt in 2023, playing in only four total. Subsequently, he used his redshirt status to retain one final year of eligibility which he will cash in on with the Orange and Blue.
The Gators have a steep hill to climb when it comes to getting back to respectability — or at least over the .500 hump — so predictably, the Gator Nation was pretty amped about the commitment. Take a look below at some samplings from social media after the big news.
