2.20.01 | Football
PHILADELPHIA, PA. (Feb. 20) -- The Temple University football team has signed
defensive end Michael Dollman of Penn Hills (Pa.) High School. The
signing of Dollman brings the total number of recruits in the 2001 class
to 31. Dollman is the fifth defensive lineman the Owls have signed, a
defensive line group that averages 6-4 and 249 pounds.
Dollman (6-3, 218), a highly decorated defensive end from Penn Hills,
Pa., was voted second team all-state as a senior and first team as a
junior by the Associated Press. He was a Toyota Supreme Team Second-Team
all-state selection in 2000. Dollman was also selected for the Great 28,
Fab 22 and Terrific 25 teams as a senior. He Earned all-conference and
All-WPIAL honors and was ranked as one of the 50 best high school
recruits in Pennsylvania by FoxSports.com. As a senior he had 51
tackles, 16.5 sacks, eight quarterback knockdowns, recovered three
fumbles and forced two fumbles. Dollman had 66 tackles, 12 sacks, nine
quarterback knockdowns, recovered a fumble and forced two fumbles as a
junior.
Wallace, now entering his fourth season with the Owls, welcomes a
recruiting class consisting of 17 high school, 12 junior college and two
prep players. Nineteen players will be freshmen in 2001 while 10 will be
juniors and two will be sophomores. Temple targeted the northeast region
landing numerous signees from Pennsylvania (9), New York (6) and New
Jersey (5). California, Maryland and the District of Columbia each
delivered two players to Temple's campus while Virginia, Idaho,
Connecticut, Montana and Florida each contributed one.
The Owls finished the 2000 season with a 4-7 overall record. Temple
loses only two players from its 2000 team, the least of any team in the
Country, and will return 20 starters in 2001. The defense that was
ranked 33rd in the nation and had four players in the top 25 in various
individual statistical categories last year, loses just one player.
