  08/18/21 - WR DWan MathisrSr/2025, Transfer

  D'Wan Mathis has been vaunted for his ability to add a new dimension to Temple's offense. Much of the Owls' success this season will be predicated on the play of the 6-foot-6, 200-pound quarterback who transferred from Georgia. "The amount of explosive plays that D'Wan was able to create in a short amount of time in practice just jumped off the page from the moment we got going," quarterbacks coach Jake Landry said Tuesday. "For us, it's an athletic ability where he can extend plays. That's what stuck out the most to us right away." Temple coach Rod Carey had originally thought during spring camp that he might not declare a starting quarterback until late summer, expecting Mathis and Re-al Mitchell to battle it out. But he named Mathis the starter in late April.

Mathis was recruited out of Oak Park (Mich.) High School by the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa State, and Cincinnati before committing to Georgia. But he was forced to redshirt his freshman year after undergoing emergency brain surgery to clear the fluid buildup around a cyst. The following season, he made his first collegiate start in the Bulldogs' season-opening win at Arkansas. After Jake Fromm's departure for the NFL and Jamie Newman's decision to opt out of the 2020 season, Mathis had beaten out JT Daniels to be named the Week 1 starter. He has previously said that surgery forced him to relearn to talk and to walk. In his words, it gave him a "next-day mentality," focusing on getting better each day while not dwelling on one bad practice. - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News
