The running back for the Cardinals has been surrounded by great backs during his time in college, and has been using that competition as fuel to elevate himself.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While Jeff Brohm has been known for his high-flying passing offenses during his time as a head coach, in his first year as the head coach of his alma mater, the opposite was true. The Louisville football program had two elite running backs to lean on Jawhar Jordan and Isaac Guerendo during the 2023 season, helping the Cardinals finish with one of the top rushing attacks in the FBS.
"It's been good," running backs coach Chris Barclay said. "He had two really good players to learn from last year in Jawhar Jordan and Isaac Guerendo, both have moved on to the NFL. Those guys were close, and they challenged him a lot and a lot of ways, and I've challenged him in the offseason." Following the end of the 2023 season, one where Louisville went 10-4 under Brohm's first year and made an appearance in the ACC Championship Game, the Cardinals even still continued to bolster the running back room. They brought over Donald Chaney Jr. from Miami, and briefly had Toledo transfer Peny Boone, who was a 1,400-yard rusher last season - although he re-entered the portal and is now at UCF.
Instead viewing guys like Jordan and Guerendo as merely competition on the depth chart, he embraced them, and became a sponge of knowledge to the much older backs. Because of that, he's still very good friends with the now-NFL rushers, even to the point where they still and help Turner out whenever they can despite working on their own professional careers.
"He's just a kid that is always trying to find ways to improve," Barclay said. "He's always asking questions, he and Don stayed after our position meeting yesterday and worked with one of the young guys. He's invested, and he's always trying to find ways to make himself more complete. Those types of kids, it's easy to coach those guys. They're not itinerary guys. They want to do more, they want to know why, and they want to do all the little things.
