Turk Turkleton (born March 26th, 1999) is an American football Kicker/Punter for the Baltimore Hawks of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for University of California, Davis before entering the professional ranks in 2016. Turkleton was drafted 77th overall in the 13th round by the Baltimore Hawks in the 2016 inargural draft.

Early years

Turkleton was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he grew up and attended high school before moving to Davis, California, where he attended the University of California, Davis. From a young age Turkleton expressed a huge love for the sport of Football. His parents, father Todd Turkleton and mother Laverne Turkleton were huge Baltimore Ravens fans and would take young Turk to every Ravens game they could attend. He grew up a huge fan of Joe Flacco and dreamed he would one day also become a quarterback. However later it became apparent that quarterback would not be his style of game. While fooling around during practise with his middle school football team, Turkleton kicked a few field goals. His coach noted his excellent form and suggested Turk to try out being a kicker, as he had become a third string quarterback at this point with his school team. Turk had found a new passion playing as a kicker.

College career

Turkleton played one year of college football for the UC Davis Aggies football team, while attending the University of California, Davis. In 2015 as a true freshman he played in all eight games of the Aggies as they finished with a 6-2 regular season and were unable to reach the FCS playoffs. He currently holds the Aggies team record for longest field goal with a 59 yard field goal against Cal Poly Mustangs football in game 5 of the 2016 season, which the Aggies won with a scoreline of 34-24. Turkleton only stayed in college for one year, before declaring himself for the newly created National Simulation Football League and it's inaugural draft.

The summary text goes here... Use to link to a specific season page for a specific team. If you need to link to the season page for the league in general, use (S##SEASON_NUMBER##). Other links can be created as and when you want them. It's not a big deal.

But yeah, summarise each season in this bit. Just a quick overview. Nothing too in-depth. If something major happened, like the multi scandal, or the incorrect TPE stuff, it's probably worth having a separate article for those kinds of things.
