Former Wisconsin starting inside linebacker Jordan Turner was named one of Michigan State’s 2024 team captains on Monday.
Turner will serve as one of five Spartan captains alongside quarterback Aidan Chiles, running back Nate Carter, offensive lineman Tanner Miller and defensive lineman Maverick Hansen.
The 6-foot-1 Michigan native played three seasons at Wisconsin after redshirting his freshman year. He started in 18 of his 30 total appearances for the Badgers at linebacker from 2021-23.
During that period, Turner registered over 130 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and three interceptions. His 65 total tackles in 2022 were second most by any Badger, and recorded eight tackles and 1.5 TFLs to pocket defensive MVP honors at the Guaranteed Rate Bowl vs. Oklahoma State.

Turner elected to begin a new chapter of his collegiate journey by transferring to East Lansing in January 2024 with one year of remaining eligibility. He is currently listed as the No. 1 middle linebacker on Michigan State’s depth chart headed into the 2024 slate.
Unfortunately for Badger fans, Turner’s Spartans will not play Wisconsin this season. He will look to showcase the same tenacity displayed in Madison against No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Oregon, No. 9 Michigan and No. 25 Iowa this fall.
