Max Tuerk (born January 27, 1994) is an American football center for the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at USC. He was a first-team all-conference selection in the Pac-12 in 2014.
A native of Trabuco Canyon, California, Tuerk attended Santa Margarita Catholic High School, where he was a two-way lineman and helped the team win the CIF Pac-5 and CIF Division I state titles in 2011. He also participated in track & field. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Tuerk was listed as the No. 7 offensive tackle prospect in his class.
In his true freshman year at USC, Tuerk emerged as the starting left offensive tackle for USC's final five regular season games of 2012 after serving as an often-used back earlier in the season. When he got his first start at Arizona, he became the first-ever USC true freshman to start at left tackle (and the first to start at tackle since Winston Justice in the last 12 games of 2002). Tuerk was named Freshman All-American by College Football News.
Tuerk was drafted by the Chargers in the third round, 66th overall, in the 2016 NFL Draft.
