A NJCAA Division 3 All-Region First Team selection, he was NJCAA Division 3 All-National Assist Leader (2006) and NJCAA Division 3 National Top Scorer (2006). His excellence on the field earned him numerous accolades, including being a three-time State Cup Champion and a four-time USL Pro Player of the Week in 2011.

His professional career spanned 15 years, during which he played at the highest levels, including stints with Barcelona Atlético (LDF Banco Popular, Dominican Republic), Brooklyn Italians (NPSL), FC New York (USL Pro, Second Division), Puerto Rico United, Carolina Giants, and Columbus Crew Reserve. Turizo was also honored as the Best Winger in the Dominican Republic’s Division 1, further cementing his legacy as an elite player. His experience across various leagues and countries has shaped his deep understanding of the game, making him a formidable leader on the sidelines.

A Proven Coaching Leader

Following his playing career, Turizo transitioned seamlessly into coaching, where he has proven to be an exceptional mentor and strategist.

Turizo’s ability to build championship-winning teams was further demonstrated as he led New Amsterdam FC and NY Braveheart of Nissan Nation to back-to-back to season championships (Spring & Fall 2021, Spring 2022). His most recent success came as the Head Coach of NY Renegades, where he guided the team to consecutive UPSL Premier Division Conference Championships from 2023 to 2024, proving his ability to establish winning cultures wherever he goes.
