The Temple Owls will welcome many new faces to the nest heading into the 2020 football season. Temple had a strong recruiting class in the offseason, specifically in the transfer market. The Owls brought in nine players via the transfer portal, with many of them set to make an immediate impact.
C.J Perez, a graduate transfer from Northern Illinois, is projected to be the Owls' starting center for the 2020 season. The 6-1, 287-lb. Kansas native started 20 games in his two seasons at NIU, with his first season played under current Temple head coach, Rod Carey.
