Jake Templeton’s goal after high school was to continue his football career at Utah State. That is exactly what happened for the native of Boise, Idaho, with a small detour along the way.
Following a successful prep career at Timberline High School in Boise, one that included capturing a state title in 2012, Templeton ended up enrolling at his hometown school, Boise State, where he spent two seasons with the Broncos, redshirting in 2014.
After those first two seasons, though, Templeton made his way to Cache Valley and joined Utah State, where he has been since the 2016-17 academic year.
