Temple quarterback Clifton McDowell re-entered the transfer portal Monday afternoon, a Temple Football spokesperson told The Temple News. McDowell announced his commitment to the Owls on Jan. 22 after transferring from Montana, but was missing from the team’s practice on March 23.
McDowell transferred to Temple after leading Montana to an FCS Championship game appearance against South Dakota State last season. He threw for 2,026 yards with 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions in 2023.
McDowell was expected to compete for the starting quarterback job with Rutgers transfer Evan Simon. Simon now looks like the Owls’ starting quarterback next season following McDowell’s departure.
Temple is now left with quarterbacks Forrest Brock, Tyler Douglas and Patrick Keller as backups for next season.
