As Forrest Brock, Evan Simon, and Tyler Douglas compete for the starting job, coach Stan Drayton has options headed into the season opener at Oklahoma.
Temple quarterback Forrest Brock holds the football during the Cherry and White spring football game at Edberg-Olson Field in North Philadelphia on Saturday, April 13, 2024.Stan Drayton isn’t ready to name a starting quarterback yet. But there are three Owls who are battling for the starting spot.
But Drayton’s main focus is a quarterback who has consistency; someone who can understand the playbook and click with the offense. While Drayton did not say when a starter will be named, it’s anticipated the decision will be made a week ahead of the Owls’ season opener against powerhouse Oklahoma on Aug. 30.
So far in training camp, Drayton credited Brock for understanding the offense and being able to execute plays. He ended his career with 952 passing yards and five touchdowns as a Scarlet Knight. His most impressive season came in 2022, when he appeared in nine games — two of those being starts — and recorded a total of 777 passing yards. He completed 79 of 137 attempts and threw six interceptions. His best game came against Iowa, where he went 28-for-49 in passing for a season-high 300 yards and a touchdown.
Simon could give the Owls more opportunities in the air rather than on the ground. Drayton also said that the 6-foot-3 Simon, who attended Manheim Central High School, has started to pick up the offense and the system the team is looking to implement.Douglas has been the most talked-about quarterback in the room by Drayton. But there’s little to judge.
