Temple coach Matt Rhule has made a significant impact recruiting in the Shore Conference. With the Lakewood duo of Chapelle Cook and Amir Tyler along with the preferred walk-ons of Mike and Anthony Nobile from Brick Memorial, the Owls will have a Shore Conference feel to it in the coming years. The Owls finished 10-4 in 2015 reaching the Boca Raton Bowl.
