Elijah Deravil brings veteran versatility and leadership to Temple’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Elijah Deravil was a steady, high-motor presence for Temple, starting at safety at Oklahoma, serving as a captain in multiple games, and finishing with 46 tackles, a first career interception, a fumble recovery, and half a sack. He was also recognized with a single-digit number, a Temple honor for players who lead by example on and off the field. At 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, he offers size, experience, and versatility in the defensive backfield, with the kind of toughness and leadership coaches love when they need a reliable, tone-setting DB.
