Temple’s 6-foot-6, 300-pound trench anchor with a global story
J.D. Gomez is a long, sturdy offensive lineman for Temple at 6-6 and 300 pounds, originally from the Dominican Republic and developed through ASA College before joining the Owls as a mid-year transfer in 2018.[1][3] Temple’s roster notes show he has been part of the program’s offensive-line depth and has earned game action on the PAT unit and at tackle, which suggests he’s valued for versatility and ready-to-go physicality rather than headline-grabbing stats.[1][2] If a team wants size, experience in a developmental role, and a player with a clear climb-through-the-ranks background, Gomez checks that box.[1][3]
