APC's resident Philadelphian and Temple expert weights in on one of his school's top draft prospects: inside linebacker Tyler Matakevich.
Temple reappeared in the national spotlight thanks to their defense in 2015. Spearheading the unit was Stratford, Connecticut native Tyler Matakevich, a senior who left a definite legacy for the Cherry and White.
Matakevich started at linebacker as a freshman, totaling 101 tackles, and looked to be an annual contributor on a defense lacking playmakers. He led a dominant unit in 2014 that played into Temple's 6-6 campaign, but Matakevich didn't receive national recognition until last season.
