Radway, Turner get chance at next level

July 26, 2011 by Austin Gwin

Two Wildcats will get their shot at the NFL when training camp starts later this week.

With the lockout over and teams scrambling to sign undrafted free agents, both Raymond Radway and Trevis Turner have been inked to deals with Super Bowl contenders.

Radway, a wide receiver and track star for ACU, will stay close to home signing with the Dallas Cowboys. He will join an exciting receiving corps that includes Pro Bowler Miles Austin and rookie phenom Dez Bryant.

Cowboys training camp is set to begin in San Antonio on Thursday. “America’s Team” typically spends a couple of weeks training in San Antonio before moving camp to California. It is suspected that owner Jerry Jones will do the same thing this season.

Turner will head north and join the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The all-American offensive tackle proved himself to pro scouts at the Cactus Bowl by earning the Jim Langer Offensive Lineman of the Game Award.

The Steelers hold their training camp closer to home in Latrobe, Pa. They begin team workouts Friday.
