Owls offer scholarships to South Jersey running backs
Keith Pompey, Inquirer Staff Writer
Temple offered football scholarships to Kingsway junior running back Ray Lawry Jr. and West Deptford junior running back/linebacker Gerald Owens on Thursday.
Both players were being recruited by the Owls before head coach Steve Addazio resigned Tuesday to take the head-coaching position at Boston College.
"So I guess this is reassurance that they are still interested in him," Ray Lawry Sr. said. "That's the way I looked at it. We went to a couple of [Temple games]. So he had a relationship.
"I took [the scholarship offer] as them saying we still want to recruit you regardless."
Both are 2014 recruits that should have a TON of offers by their senior year. The owls need a coach appointed ASAP— Mikey Fresh
