Temple lands two football commitments

Cheltenham quarterback Brandon Mack isn't sure what position he will play in college, but he knows where he will be playing.

Mack, a senior-to-be, made an oral commitment over the weekend to Temple, which also received a commitment from Kareem Gaulden, a defensive back from Lincoln High in Jersey City, N.J.

Both players announced their intentions on Twitter, and a person familiar with Temple recruiting confirmed the information. Gaulden and Mack recently attended a Temple football camp.

Mack is a 6-foot-4, 190-pounder who ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at Temple's camp. He is being recruited as an athlete.

"The coaches say I could be a tight end or a defensive end, but at this moment I am not sure," Mack said in a phone interview. "My goal is to keep improving."

Mack, who had an offer from Delaware State, is considered a late bloomer.

The 5-11, 190-pound Gaulden is considered capable of playing either cornerback or safety in college.

This gives Temple four commitments in the Class of 2016. The others are two-way lineman D'Andre Dill of Chester and offensive tackle Darian Bryant of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy.
