Temple received a commitment from another former George Washington player in 6-3, 235-pound quarterback Clinton "Juice" Granger, who spent a season at Pierce College in Los Angeles. He passed for more than 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns last season while adding 200 yards and five scores on the ground.
"Granger has gone through unbelievable measures to get himself right so that he could have this chance to come back to Temple," Addazio said. "It was a dream come true for him and his family."
Addazio received a signature from Harrisburg quarterback Jalen Fitzpatrick, who threw for 1,743 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior and also ran for 1,116 yards on route to becoming a Pennsylvania Big 33 selection.
"We wanted to be able to recruit some dual-threat quarterbacks, guys who can run and throw, and we got that accomplished," Addazio said.
He was concerned with expanding the depth of Temple's receiving corps and landed six wide receivers.
"We felt we had to have a large class of wide receivers for the expansion of our offense and our ability to potentially spread the field in a more vertical pass game," said Addazio, who spent the last three seasons as Florida's offensive coordinator.
"We need to be able to recruit size and speed, guys that can go up and get the ball in a vertical game and guys with speed who catch those underneath routes, make people miss, and make explosive plays."
While the Owls brought in a large wide-receiver class, they signed just one running back: Spencer Reid, youngest son of Eagles coach Andy Reid.
"I really love Spencer," Addazio said. "He's a strong guy. He's got great ball skills. He's really tough and coachable. He understands the game. I just think he's going to be a great player here."
Reid is among 11 signees who attended the Temple football camp last summer.
