It’s not news Wisconsin fans want to hear. Starting inside linebacker Jordan Turner has been suspended indefinitely as announced by Athletic Director Chris McIntosh. It was indicated as violating the UW Department of Athletics Student Athlete Discipline Policy. Turner has just posted it was for first offense OWI and other traffic violations.
If Turner misses any part of the regular season, it’s a huge loss for the Wisconsin defense. Turner was second on the team last season with 37 tackle, two sacks, and one interception. He had a good nose for the ball and is a solid 1-2 punch with Maema Njongmeta, the other stating linebacker.
The start of the season is still a ways away, but early replacements if needed would be Tatum Grass or Jake Chaney.
