Owl Outlook is back for episode 2, with today focusing on the newcomers on the Temple Owls football team, featuring interviews with wide receiver Rod Streater as well as defensive end Taray Carey.
The Temple Football team once again reeled in one of the conference's top recruiting classes in 2010.
At quarterback, Connor Reilly (Fairfax, VA) was the Owls' only signal caller to sign in February, though he will be joined by walk-on Bret Gillespie (Downingtown, PA).
At running back, Myron Miles enters the fold after originally being committed to Vanderbilt of the SEC. He is also joined in the backfield by walk-on Chris Burrell of Don Bosco Prep (NJ).
The wide receiver position may have seen the most improvement, with the additions of Streater (Alfred State - formerly of Burlington Township High School), 6'6'' wideout Deon Miller (Fork Union Military Academy) and the fleet-footed Darryl Shine (Fullterton College). Walk-on Brett Pierce (Sicklerville, NJ) will be in the mix as well.
At tight end, the Owls added an imposing target to the passing game in 6'5, 240 lb Tyler Johnson (Lakeland Regional HS).
The offensive line, which was voted as the team's MVP at the 2009 Award's Banquet, welcomes a couple of new faces as well. Among those is Big 33 participant Adam Metz (Lower Dauphin HS), who at 6'5, 310 lbs already looks the part. He's not the only intimidating addition up front however, with Joe Cenatiempo (6'7, 315 lbs, Garnet Valley HS), Elijah Grant (6'6, 340 lbs, Fork Union) and Martin Wallace (6'6, 295 lbs, Northeastern University), there is some major beef to contend with.
On the defensive line, the Owls have added Carey, who was a two way threat at both defensive end and tight end at Whitehall High School. He will be joined on the outside by the athletic Sean Daniels (Highland Regional HS) and the stout Jaimen Newman (Matoaca, VA). Looking to wreak havoc inside is Dante Weaver, who at 6'2, 320 lbs already looks like a mauler inside. He will be joined by the pride of San Diego, CA, walk-on Byron Rutherford, as well as Burlington's Wanemi Omuso and Jackson Memorial High Schoo's Terrance Brown.
At linebacker, two local kids highlight the class in Niyi Adewale (Upper Darby HS) and Wyatt Benson (Haverford School). Both players were productive in high school and have the smarts to be impact players during their Temple careers. Walk-on's Anthony Petrucci (Downingtown East) and Brian DiGiovanni (Upper Darby) also will be in camp.
In the secondary, several players were added and will be looking to make an impact. Defensive back Brian Burns (Bowie, MD) has good size and athletic ability, while Norristown's Anthony Robey has the speed to burn. Marquise Goods (Orange, NJ) will be making a splash as well. Zamel Johnson, formerly of Hofstra University, enrolled in the spring and has already entrenched himself in the rotation at cornerback. Zamel isn't the only transfer though, with Abdul Smith (formerly of Rutgers) making it onto the camp roster as well. Walkon's David Abror and Ryan Woods will also be making an impact in camp.
On special teams, the Owls added a national prospect in punter Andrew Cerett (Huntingdon Area HS) on signing day, while also getting some action out of kicker Erik Jacobs during spring practice.
