Immediately, despite bringing in countless talented recruits to College Station, the defense started to regress. It never returned to the spot it was in 2017 in the two years that Elko was gone from College Station, but head coach Jimbo Fisher's team lost more games than it won from 2022-23, with former Maryland head coach DJ Durkin's defense slowly giving up more and more points per game.

By his second year with the Boilermakers he had turned into a stud, registering 50 tackles and a Big Ten-leading 10 sacks.

Shemar Turner is a rare player on this Texas A&M roster, standing as one of three projected starters who were top-100 recruits and stayed in College Station for more than two years. While big names like Walter Nolen and LT Overton transferred away, Turner has quietly turned himself into one of the best players on this Texas A&M team.
