247Sports' Steven Robertson is reporting that the Florida Gators are expected to hire David Turner from University of Texas at San Antonio as their new defensive line coach. Sources have indicated to Swamp247 that Turner is expected to be UF's new defensive line coach as well.

Florida head coach Dan Mullen has a history with Turner as the two worked together at Mississippi State. Turner coached at MSU on two separate stints – 2007-09 and 2013-15.

Turner has extensive experience working in the Southeastern Conference. Prior to UTSA, he worked at Texas A&M from 2016-2017. There Turner was able to help mold defensive end Myles Garrett into the overall No. 1 selection in the 2017 NFL Draft. Sandwiched between his times at MSU, Turner spent 2010-2012 at Kentucky. Turner also has stops at Alabama and Vanderbilt on his resume.

Turner also has worked in the Big Ten Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference with stops at Minnesota (2001) and Virginia (1997-2000). Turner is a native of Goldston, N.C. and he began his collegiate coaching career in 1986 as an assistant at his alma mater, Davidson College.

Florida had to fill the position after former defensive line coach Sal Sunseri took the outside linebackers job with the Alabama Crimson Tide. Sunseri spent one season at UF. Prior to his time in Gainesville he spent three seasons in the NFL as the Oakland Raiders’ linebacker coach. Sunseri also spent two years at Florida State (2013-2014) as the Seminoles’ defensive line coach, one year as Tennessee’s defensive coordinator (2012), three years as Alabama’s assistant head coach (2009-2011), and seven years as the Carolina Panthers’ defensive line coach (2002-2008).
