A former All-AAC Tournament Team selection for the Owls, Jaylen Bond recently completed his second season as a graduate assistant with the Temple men's basketball program.

In 2023-24, Temple became the first team in American Athletic Conference history to win four games in four days at the conference tournament and helped guide Temple to its first appearance in the AAC championship game. TU finished second in program history with 296 made three-pointers and were 31st nationally with just 9.9 turnovers per game. The Owls also came away with 7.4 steals an outing, a jump of more than two per game from the previous season and their highest total since 2018-19.

As a player, Bond averaged 8.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in two years at TU. He ranked in the top-40 nationally in offensive boards in both seasons.
