7.17.23 | Football
Philadelphia – The East-West Shrine Bowl announced its list of top 1,000 all-star game eligible players. That list included Temple graduate outside linebacker Layton Jordan and redshirt junior linebacker Jordan Magee.
Magee is the unquestioned leader of the Temple defense who led the team in tackles (86) a year ago. Coming off All-AAC recognition last season, Magee has already received preseason honors this year. He's easy to find in the middle of the Owls defense, wearing the number "6" since being awarded by his teammates with a single-digit – given to Temple's elite football players for their on- and off-field leadership.
Jordan may be the most established playmaker of the Owls defense. With 9.0 sacks, 18.5 TFLs, two interceptions, and three defensive touchdowns in 2022, Jordan joined Ndamukong Suh (2008) and Melvin Ingram (2011) as the only FBS players to record three TDs, two INTs, 5.0 sacks and 10.0 TFLs in one season.
Since 1925, the East-West Shrine Bowl has benefited Shriners Children's and its mission while showcasing the next generation of NFL legends. An invitation to take part in the annual East-West Shrine Bowl is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the best senior collegiate football all-stars in the country to showcase their talents in front of top representatives of NFL teams. A strong performance in the game greatly impacts a player's chances of a career in the NFL. Many of professional football's most recognized and decorated players, including Tom Brady, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor, John Elway, Gale Sayers and Jimmy Garoppolo, played in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
