Temple’s football team has become an NCAA transfer portal, reflective of the new reality of college sports. We asked Owls coach Stan Drayton about how that turnover is affecting his program.
It’s not an ideal situation, but it’s one that college coaching staffs are resigned to deal with.
“It’s not something I promote,” Drayton said during a rare offseason media availability on Tuesday. “Obviously, I want to grow old with a program. I know that if we have the ability to grow old together, we can sustain wins and success that way.”This offseason, Temple has had roster movement at different position groups. To compensate, Drayton said the program added 32 players for the 2023 season.
Francis has one year of eligibility remaining and was a starter for the Rams. So his experience fills a short-term positional need for the Owls. On the flip side, Temple could develop Morris over the next four seasons. “You just don’t know who’s going to be [out] there or not,” Drayton said. “You just took all that time to develop these athletes, and there’s a chance that you may have developed them for somebody else. So those are things that we are not excited to talk about, but unfortunately, it’s a reality in today’s world.”
