PREPS takes a look at some of the players in Pennsylvania that Temple University has offered in the 2015 class. Temple currently has two commits from the 2015 class, but neither one of those players are from Pennsylvania.
QUARTERBACKS
Brett Brumbaugh – South Fayette Township 6-3 , 185
Brumbaugh led his team to the Class AA State Championship in 2013. Temple currently has a strong chance of landing him with his only offer right now being from Akron. Don’t be surprised to see that change in the next couple of months. Brumbaugh was lights out in that state championship game.
RUNNING BACKS
Josh Adams – Council Rock South 6-1, 182
Temple is not in contention for Adams.
WIDE RECEIVERS
D.J. Moore – Imhotep 6’0”, 180
Currently holds offers from Temple and Western Michigan. Moore plays on a team that runs the ball……..a lot. He still was able to put up more than respectable numbers. He has the advantage of college coaches coming to his school on a regular basis. Depending on the types of offers he gets, Temple may have a shot at keeping one of the Philly kids in the city.
OFFENSIVE TACKLE
Sterling Jenkins – Baldwin 6-8, 305
Ryan Bates – Archbishop Wood 6-5, 280
Temple is not in contention for any of these players.
DEFENSIVE END
Shareef Miller – Frankford 6-5, 218
Temple was among the first teams to offer Miller but things have drastically changed in his recruitment over the past 6 months.
INSIDE LINEBACKER
Jake Cooper – Archbishop Wood 6-2, 230
Cooper is most likely to commit to Penn State any day now.
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER
Kevin Givens – Altoons 6-2, 230 (committed to PITT)
CORNERBACK
John Reid – St. Joseph’s 5-10 180
Jordan Whitehead – Central Valley 6-0 180
Kareem Gibson – Greater Johnstown 5-10 157
Temple was never a major player for Reid or Whitehead. Gibson was offered by Pitt a day after he was offered from Temple. Pitt is his best offer so far.
SAFETY
Jay Stocker – Coatesville 6-2, 180
Temple is not a strong candidate to land Stocker.
ATHLETE
Olamide Zaccheaus – St. Joseph’s 5-9, 180
Temple is not a strong candidate to land Stocker.
