Temple corner Devontae Ward-Grant brings length, speed, and room to grow
Devontae Ward-Grant is a 5-foot-11, 165-pound Temple corner who flashed as a freshman in 2025 with 4 total tackles, then entered 2026 with buzz as a young defender still carving out his role; Temple’s roster notes say he could miss the 2026 season after a spring-practice injury, which is the big red flag for immediate impact[1][2]. The upside is real: he’s viewed as a developmental outside corner with athletic multi-sport background and enough early practice praise to suggest a competitive edge, but at this stage he looks more like a long-term fit than a plug-and-play starter[2][8].
