Largest Class to Sign with the NFL in School History
PHILADELPHIA – An eighth Temple Owl has signed a rookie free agent contract with an NFL team, boosting Temple's largest class of NFL signees in school history to 10.
Defensive back Marquise Liverpool (Ramsey, N.J.) has reportedly signed with the Detroit Lions. Named the team's 2010 Special Teams' MVP, he started all 12 games at corner last fall, one of just seven Owls to start every game. Liverpool played several positions during his TU tenure, moving to DB in spring 2009, and playing RB in 2008 after playing WR as a true freshman.
Liverpool is the 10th Owl to join the NFL this preseason. He joins NFL draft picks DT Muhammad Wilkerson (New York Jets) and S Jaiquawn Jarrett (Philadelphia Eagles) as well as free agent signees WR Michael Campbell (New York Jets); TE Vaughn Charlton (Pittsburgh Steelers); twins LB Elijah “Peanut” Joseph and DT Eli Joseph (Green Bay Packers); LB Amara Kamara (Kansas City Chiefs); OL Colin Madison (Baltimore Ravens); and OL Darius Morris (Houston Texans).
Temple opens the 2011 season with cross-city rival Villanova in the third annual Mayor's Cup, sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts, at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, Sept. 1. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Season tickets for Temple Football are available now for as low as $20 per game by calling the Temple Ticket Sales Office at 215-204-8499 or visit www.OwlsTix.com.
