Offensive tackle Jazston Turnetine was in Georgia on Friday to work out with the Atlanta Falcons for their local prospect day according to KRPC2's Aaron Wilson.

Turnetine who recently worked out at FSU Pro Day joined the Seminoles after transferring in for the 2022 season from the South Carolina Gamecocks and appeared in all 13 games with eight starts. Playing offensive tackle, he blocked for one of the most explosive offenses in the country which led the ACC in yards per play, total offense per game, yards per completion, and rushing offense per game.

The Falcons finished 2022 with one of the top offensive lines in the league and could be looking to build around a squad that finished the season at No. 1 in run blocking and No. 8 in pass blocking according to PFF.

Some players on the Falcons' offensive line have left or renewed their contracts. Elijah Wilkinson joined the Arizona Cardinals, while LG Chuma Edoga is now with the Dallas Cowboys. Meanwhile, LG Colby Gossett has renewed his contract with the Falcons for one year.

At this point, it is likely that Turnetine will go as an undrafted free agent but it is promising for his NFL potential that a team with one of the top OLs in the NFL has its eyes on him.
