In February, Temple signed 28 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. Geographically, 21 signees came from within TU’s re- cruiting footprint, with 10 student- athletes listing their hometown in Pennsylvania and 11 hailing from New Jersey. Eight signees hail from Southeastern Pennsylvania, includ- ing six from the Philadelphia metro area. Golden stated that he was going to pursue a MAC title with local talent, and he is holding true to that with signing numerous Penn- sylvania and New Jersey players. Fifteen of the signees served as team captains (54%), while 17 of the 21 high school signees attended the Al Golden Football Camp (81%). Two of the signees—Alex Jackson and Deonte Parker— enrolled at Temple football under fourth- do.
