Football's Florida Boys Head Home for AAC Battle

PHILADELPHIA- As Temple football squares off with #9 UCF this Thursday night in Orlando, Florida, the road trip down south poses as quite the homecoming to four of the Owls longest tenured players.

"The Florida Boys" - consisting of WRs Ventell Bryant and Brodrick Yancy, DB Jyquis Thomas, and DT Freddie Booth-Lloyd - all hail from The Sunshine State and made their way to North Philadelphia as a part of Temple's 2014 recruiting class.

"Growing up, football was everything. It was my way of staying out of trouble, and it was also my way of taking out my anger," said Booth-Lloyd.
