Temple returns both its starting kicker and punter from last year for 2010, which is a great sign for this team. We saw improvement between the '08-'09 years, and now this upcoming season can only get better.
| 0-19 | 20-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-99 | XP | |
| Brandon McManus | 1/1 | 9/9 | 4/5 | 3/7 | 0/2 | 45/48 |
McManus showed a lot of promise in his first year as a Temple Owl, earning the starting position after just one Jake Brownell kick. He has a very strong and accurate leg which will only improve as spring practice continues on.
| Punts | YDS | AVG | LONG | |
| Jeff Wathne | 46 | 1709 | 37.2 | 53 |
| Andrew Cerett | - | - | - | - |
Jeff Wathne has been consistent, regarding holding the starting punter position. Wathne had a decent year, but could definitely strengthen his leg, as well as communication with the long snapper. The LS to punter situation needs to be squared off so that there's no problem there.
He will be challenged this year by freshman Andrew Cerett, who has a lot of potential. His size and strength make the case that Cerett could possibly have the starting spot next year (2011's a long way away, though!).
