President-elect Donald Trump is tapping Scott Turner, a former NFL player and veteran of his first term to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Turner served as executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council previously. The president-elect in a statement praised Turner’s work in that post, saying he helped “lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Country’s most distressed communities.”
