08/03/22 - Xach Gill, rSr/2023, Temple, 6-4, 297 (DS#133 DT) + More +

During Stan Drayton's first team meeting as Temple's coach, he noticed one player in particular who was sitting in the front row. "Not knowing his name, not knowing who he was," Drayton said, "I just saw this one individual staring at the back of my skull trying to grab onto everything that I was saying." It was senior nose guard Xach Gill, who hasn't played a live snap of football since he appeared Dec. 12, 2020, in a win over Miami. At the time, he played defensive tackle and special teams for North Carolina. Expectations are high for Gill in his first season taking the field at Temple, both as an anchor on the defensive line and a leader within the locker room. And there's added pressure as Temple's season opener kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 2 at Duke, just 45 minutes from Gill's hometown.

In three seasons at North Carolina - he redshirted his freshman year - Gill appeared in 25 games and offered defensive line depth. He made 17 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, recorded two sacks, and had one fumble recovery. He was recruited by former Temple coach Rod Carey's staff and committed to the Owls in January 2021. During winter workouts he suffered an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the year. Gill was officially cleared to play near the end of last season and was "full go" for the start of spring practices. - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News

06/12/22 - Quincy Patterson, rSr/2024, Temple, 6-3, 242 (DS#64 QB) + More +

Temple has set itself up for an intriguing preseason quarterback competition. Quincy Patterson committed to the Owls on May 18, arriving at what he says will be his last stop with two years of eligibility remaining. His final two choices were Temple and Troy. "I probably talked to 40 schools and I just told them all the same thing," Patterson told The Inquirer. "They're all like, 'What do you want?' I said, 'I just want a chance to compete." First-year coach Stan Drayton said during spring practice that Temple could look to the transfer portal to add some competition at quarterback. Patterson will duke it out with returning starter D'Wan Mathis, who transferred from Georgia for the starting job in December 2020. Patterson played in 11 games over three seasons at Virginia Tech (2018-20). He left feeling as if there wasn't much more he could do to sniff a starting spot in Blacksburg, Va., so he transferred to North Dakota State in December 2020.

The 6-foot-3, 242-pound quarterback went 7-0 as a starter in his lone season before suffering an injury to the AC joint in his throwing shoulder. Patterson only saw the field in run packages thereafter, as backup Cam Miller took over duties under center. Miller led the Bison to an FCS national championship, leaving Patterson feeling some deja vú. He didn't see a path to a legitimate quarterback competition. There was plenty of open dialogue about the situation, but Patterson understood that North Dakota State was unlikely to bench its championship quarterback. The day after Patterson entered the transfer portal for a second time on May 10, he got a call from Temple's wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Jafar Williams, who held a similar position while they were both at Virginia Tech. - Philadelphia Inquirer

06/09/22 - Jay Ducker, rSr/2026, Temple, 5-09, 205 (DS#999 RB) + More +

RB Jeyvon Ducker was held out of both open scrimmages, including the spring game, so there's little to go on besides his potential. When he was healthy and seen during open portions of early spring practice, he showed off his pass-catching as well as running. The key questions, though: Will a healthy Brandon Thomas resume his role as the Tigers' lead back? Does Asa Martin get more carries after his strong finish to last season? Even if Thomas and Martin are effective, Ducker, last season's MAC Freshman of the Year, will challenge them and the other returners for time on the field. It's the main challenge for new running backs coach Sean Dawkins, and Ducker will certainly try to spark a run game that struggled the past two seasons. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

05/19/22 - Quincy Patterson, rSr/2024, Temple, 6-3, 242 (DS#64 QB) + More +

Former Virginia Tech quarterback Quincy Patterson will transfer to Temple for the 2022 season, according to ESPN. It is the second transfer in as many years for Patterson, who played this past season at North Dakota State after beginning his college career with the Hokies in 2018. The decision to enter the transfer portal came after Patterson led the Bison to a 7-0 record as the starter this past season before suffering an injury. The dual-threat quarterback still finished with 13 total touchdowns, seven of which came on the ground. During his time with Virginia Tech, he appeared in 11 games from 2018-20, making one start.

His most memorable moment with the Hokies came against North Carolina that season when he scored the game-winning two-point conversion to end the longest game in ACC history, which spanned six overtimes. "It's a shot to be the best me I can be, in a sense" Patterson said regarding his transfer to Temple. "I told all the coaches, I didn't need and guarantees (to start). I just wanted a shot and take it from there and prove what I can do. I know a lot of people know what I can do. I just have to go do it." A former four-star recruit, Patterson ranked as the No. 21 quarterback and No. 270 overall player in the 2018 class according to On3 Consensus. He chose to attend Virginia Tech over offers from Mississippi State, North Carolina, Penn State and others. - On3.com

He played in 35 games and started 14 times, including six starts in 2021. He particularly made his mark as a perimeter blocker and with his ability to break tackles after the catch. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Perez, Temple, Gr.,...Perez started all 12 games for the Owls in 2021 and, in fact, started all 19 games for the Owls since transferring from NIU in 2020.
