Paulhill, Owls part ways
Keith Pompey, Inquirer Staff Writer
Fifth-year senior defensive lineman Shahid Paulhill, who was expected to start this season, is no longer a member of Temple’s football team.
“Shahid has decided not to come back for a fifth year,” coach Matt Rhule said.
Rhule was asked if Paulhill is gone for disciplinary reasons.
“It was just our way of life,” Rhule said. “We were holding guys to a high standard. Some guys want to do it. Some guys don’t.
“We love Shahid. He’s been here for a long time. We are hoping he graduates. But he just wasn’t ready to live the way we want him to live.”

Good to see Temple's Rhule running a program the way it should be. Wish the kid all the best.— lazybone
