CHARLOTTE, N.C. – On April 9, 2016, the spring before his senior season at Ocean Township High School in Oakhurst, New Jersey, quarterback Kenny Pickett tweeted, “Honored to say that I have COMMITTED TO Temple University!!’’
Along with the tweet were a few pictures, including one with the three-star quarterback wearing a No. 2 Temple jersey standing next to then-Owls coach Matt Rhule, who now coaches the Carolina Panthers.
“I got to see practice. It was a little cold today -- it was snowing -- but the intensity was still there like it was 75 degrees and sunny,” Pickett told NJ.
