A Message from Head Coach Turk Ozturk
"When I first arrived at WT in January 2025, our Vice President of Athletics, Doug Lipinski, shared with me his vision of building a championship-caliber program. This went far beyond just winning on the field — it was about excelling in every aspect: in the classroom, in the community, and in the overall student-athlete experience.
 
The buzz around this event has been incredible. Our team is honored and energized by the support we've received, and we are proud to represent WT Athletics, our university, and our amazing community. October 2nd is shaping up to be a truly special night — one filled with excitement, pride, and lasting memories. 
 
WT continues to set the standard for what it means to support its student-athletes, and we're beyond grateful to be a part of that tradition. We can't wait to take the field, and with your support, we hope to make history together."
