Geoff Collins, Temple search for new quarterback after Phillip Walker’s career ends

The Phillip Walker era began at Temple on Oct. 5, 2013.

Walker, who was a true freshman at the time, took over for Connor Reilly in the second quarter of Temple’s loss to the University of Louisville. He’s been the Owls’ quarterback ever since.

The senior quarterback, who went by P.J. during his first three years on campus, has started 47 games in a row for Temple. He finished his career on Tuesday by throwing for 396 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Wake Forest University in the Military Bowl.

Walker ended his time at Temple with 10,668 yards passing, 74 passing touchdowns and 28 wins, which all rank tops in program history.
