School Record Boosts to 12 Owl Signees in 2012
PHILADELPHIA – Quarterback Chester Stewart (Hanover, Md.) became the 12th Temple Owl to sign with an NFL team this spring, extending the school record for the largest class.
Stewart signed a rookie free agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, joining former Owl teammates RB Bernard Pierce (Ardmore, Pa.) and TE Matt Balasavage (Lancaster, Pa.) on the Ravens' roster.
A four-year starter for Temple, Stewart played in 10 games with six starts as a senior in 2011. He was named the Baltimore Sun / Next Level Player of the Week (Sept. 26, 2011) following a perfect 9-of-9 for 140 yards in the win at Maryland. A 2010 team captain, Stewart earned his degree in criminal justice in December 2011.
Temple's 2012 class of signees—three Draftees and nine rookie free agents—improves the school record to 12, and includes NFL draftees RB Bernard Pierce (Baltimore Ravens), TE Evan Rodriguez (Chicago Bears), and LB Tahir Whitehead (Detroit Lions) as well as .rookie free agents TE Matt Balasavage (Baltimore Ravens), OL?Pat Boyle (Detroit Lions), DE?Morkeith Brown (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), OL?Derek Dennis (Miami Dolphins), LB?Stephen Johnson (New Orleans Saints), DE?Adrian Robinson (Pittsburgh Steelers), QB Chester Stewart (Baltimore Ravens), WR?Rod Streater (Oakland Raiders), and OL?Wayne Tribue (Denver Broncos).
The seniors were a part of the winningest four-year class in school history. They became the first class in school history to be bowl eligible in three consecutive years. They won more conference games than any other class in school history. They recorded three consecutive winning seasons and out-scored opponents in four straight seasons. These 19 seniors were also the first Owls in school history to participate in two bowl games and became the first class to win a bowl game in 32 years.
Temple opens the 2012 season with Villanova in the fourth annual Mayor's Cup, sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts, on Friday, August 31 at Lincoln Financial Field.
