Former Georgia football quarterback D’Wan Mathis has been named the starter for the Temple Owls for the second consecutive season.
Mathis threw for 1,223 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions last season for Temple. The Owls begin their 2022 season against Duke on Sept. 2.
Temple is coming off a tough 3-9 season. The Owls won three of their first five games in 2021, but lost all of their remaining contests.
D’Wan Mathis and Temple should have a better season in 2022.
Mathis has been named the opening day starter for three consecutive seasons. He was named Georgia’s starting quarterback ahead of the 2020 college football season, but lost his job to Stetson Bennett in his first career start against Arkansas. Mathis is a former four-star recruit from Oak Park High School in Oak Park, Michigan.
He was Georgia’s co-winner of the David Jacobs Award in 2019 for overcoming his scary brain cyst. We wish him luck with Temple this season.
