Rent-A-Catcher: Michael Turner signs NIL with Castle Rental and Pawn
Arkansas catcher Michael Turner has had quite the last couple weeks.
The Kent State transfer was named Stillwater Regional MVP after an 8-for-18 weekend in which the Diamond Hogs upset host Oklahoma State to advance to the Chapel Hill Super Regional.
That performance came after a Northwest Arkansas sports-radio host took a swipe at Turner for being, in other words, not a true Razorback. Apparently, because Turner was in the midst of his first and only season in Fayetteville, he didn’t have a right to voice his concerns.
Three days after the Stillwater Regional and three days before Arkansas is back in action, Turner is the new owner of an NIL from Castle Rental and Pawn.
I’m excited to announce my new NIL deal with Castle Rental and Pawn as their official D-1 “Rental” Baseball Player of the year! They’ve provided great value to their rental customers in NWA for over 40 years. Visit their website at https://t.co/KtGWwdglqg @castlerp pic.twitter.com/89w1G6eyoO

Turner has played in 57 games for Arkansas this season after transferring from the MAC school in Ohio. He’s slashed .310/.382/.504 for the Diamond Hogs, who are one of just five of the 16 teams remaining who beat the host school in the Regional round.
The Chapel Hill Supers begin Saturday at 10 a.m.
