Brandon Turner, on his way to a hat trick against Georgia Tech in 2009Senior wing Brandon Turner was not in Wilmington on Friday night for Wake's game against UNC-W. Instead, he was in Washington, DC, interviewing for the Rhodes Scholarship. Brandon, a two-time North Carolina Collegiate Rugby All-Star, a USA Rugby South U-20 All-Star, a member of the 2011 ACRL All-Academic team and recipient of the Wake Forest Rugby Marcum Scholarship, has an impressive resume, both on and off the field. But on Saturday afternoon that resume became virtually untouchable, as Brandon was named one of the 32 national recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship, widely regarded as the world's most prestigious scholarship. Brandon will now pursue a master's in global public health at Oxford University in 2012-2013, where he will hopefully continue his rugby career as well.
