Temple’s veteran road-grader: James McHale brings rare size and long-term program experience
James McHale is a 6-foot-6, 295-pound graduate-student offensive lineman for Temple, and the big selling point is obvious: NFL-style frame, veteran experience, and the kind of steadiness coaches love up front. Temple lists him as a multi-year contributor with honors tied to scout-team and game-week work, which hints at a grinder’s profile rather than a flashy-stat player. His value is in leverage, durability, and knowing how to survive the trenches, making him a fit for teams that want a mature, physical developmental lineman.
