Turner has been a trailblazer in college football in her climb at Notre Dame and in Bowden's recruiting and personnel department. She was elevated to the Irish's DPP a year ago and has further proved invaluable the last month as Notre Dame advanced to its first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoff Championship game.

Notre Dame GM Chad Bowden is set to join USC, marking a major shift for the Irish as they navigate offseason changes and future recruiting.
