With one week before the preseason began, Temple appeared to have their roster set. But then came the dismissal of signee Aaron Hush for academic reasons, opening up a scholarship for Temple to utilize.
With the open scholarship now available, Temple quickly went out and picked up the pride of Iona Prep, Gregory Gadson. The 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive tackle had his mind set on attending a prep school since he was unable to receive any offers from a Division I school, until Temple made a surprise offer to him.
Back in February, Temple displayed some interest in the talented youngster, but for whatever reason at the time, did not offer him a scholarship. However, four days before training camp, Temple contacted Gadson, and in a matter of time, he was on his way to Philadelphia.
The addition of Gadson gives Temple more talent on the defensive line, and a lot of potential for the next four seasons.
