Welcome to The Temple News’ 2024-25 Temple Football offseason tracker. There is a lot of roster movement in between football seasons, so we are bringing all the news straight to you in one convenient location.
The Owls finished with a 3-9 record for the fourth consecutive season in 2024. Temple was yet again unable to meet its expectations of competing in the American Athletic Conference after bringing in more than 40 new faces to the program last offseason. Former head coach Stan Drayton was fired with two games remaining on the season, and K.C. Keeler was hired as his replacement on Dec. 1.
Keeler will have lots of work to do retaining current players and reeling in new ones. Revisit this tracker as the offseason continues to unfold to stay up to date on all the latest roster news.
