2010 Temple Football Position Breakdowns (DL)

The Temple defensive line, despite losing Andre Neblett and Brian Sanford, have a lot of experience and talent returning for the 2010 season. This is going to be an extremely interesting year for the d-line, as we'll have both a lot of veterans on the field along with some promising younger players.

Adrian Robinson leads a younger defensive line, looking to once again dominate his counterparts. The team's leading sacker (13 in 2009) will take the helm of this unit, and hopefully continue what has been an excellent career. "A.D." has an extremely first step off of the snap, and is one of the quickest players into the backfield.

Muhammad Wilkerson is another veteran lineman that returns for his junior year after an extremely productive 2009 season. The 5th leading tackler on the team will use both his strength and height to knock down passes coming his way, and wrap up the running game.

Morris Blueford and Elisha Joseph were the other two players that saw decent playing time, and also played important roles in last year's successful season. Don't expect anything different for this year. Kadeem Custis, who showed promise in his freshman year, will continue to see an increase in his PT as he progress as a dominant force on the line as well.

Temple had a number of defensive linemen redshirt the 2009 season, which means there is a lot of talent and depth in this DL unit. Geoffrey Prather, Shahid Paulhill, Levi Brown, Tyreek Spain, and Kamal Johnson will have opportunities to get things going in their young Temple careers.

Look out for a few freshman like Taray Carey, Aaron Hush, and Dante Weaver to possibly make a push for some playing time in year one of their Temple careers as well.
