Gevani McCoy - Won't start, should see snaps McCoy won't start Saturday's game against UMass but should see some reps under center in the contest, Chris Hummer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McCoy will cede the first opportunity under center to Evan Simon, but he may get some chances to state his case for additional work in the contest. At the very least, Simon will likely have a short leash with McCoy waiting in the wings, and McCoy likely sports more fantasy upside as the more mobile of the options.

Evan Simon - Confirmed as starter Simon will start Saturday against UMass but is expected to cede some snaps to Gevani McCoy, according to Chris Hummer of 247Sports.com.

Impact Ultimately, Simon won the quarterback battle against McCoy, though the latter is also expected to see some action under center. Simon was the starter for the Owls in 2024 as well, completing 58.8 percent of his passes for 2,032 yards and a 15:9 TD:INT.

Gevani McCoy - Likely Week 1 backup McCoy looks to be the backup option under center ahead of Temple's Week 1 opener against UMass, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McCoy did not take any first-team reps during warmups as it appears that Evan Simon will be the Owls' starter against UMass following an offseason quarterback competition. The 6-foot graduate transfer from Oregon State will look to stay ready in case his number is called in the contest.

Evan Simon - Expected Week 1 starter Simon looks to be Temple's Week 1 starter for Saturday's game against UMass, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Simon took all of his pregame reps with the Owls' starting center and fall camp reports that he would likely be the starter appear to be correct. The 6-foot-3 graduate student appeared in nine games with Temple last season after transferring in from Rutgers, tossing for 2,032 yards (181-of-308), 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions, adding on three scores with his legs. Simon will look to secure the starting spot with a strong showing against UMass following an offseason quarterback battle.
