Casey Thompson enters transfer portal; 5 landing spots for QB
5. Temple
Thompson鈥檚 best collegiate season coincided with the arrival of Steve Sarkisian and his coaching staff in 2021. Among them was assistant head coach and running backs coach Stan Drayton who was hired as the Temple head coach following the season.
Drayton鈥檚 first year with the Owls didn鈥檛 go particularly well as the team finished the year with a 3-9 record. The team鈥檚 starting quarterback, E.J. Warner did perform well during the year with over 3,000 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. However, if Drayton wanted to upgrade the position to make the team more competitive next year, he could look to Thompson for a boost of experience and energy to a stagnant team. That would be a bold move by Drayton but the connection between the two could make it work.
