Forrest Brock News, Rumors, Updates - Temple Owls

Returning to backup role Brock will resume his role as Temple's backup quarterback, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brock made his first start since Week 2 against UConn two weeks ago, and threw for 136 yards, no touchdowns and an interception while completing 56.3 percent of his passes. That performance has relegated him to the backup role, as Evan Simon will get the start for the Owls.

Quiet in return Brock was 18-for-32 passing for 136 yards and one interception during Saturday's 29-20 loss against Connecticut. He also had nine rushes for 14 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Brock made his first start since Week 2 after missing the last three games due to a shoulder injury. It was not a great return as he threw for just 136 yards and one interception, his seventh turnover in three starts. He made up for it a bit with an eight-yard touchdown rush in the fourth quarter, but it was still a quiet overall outing for him.

To start Saturday Brock will start at quarterback for Saturday's game against UConn with Evan Simon (shoulder) ruled out, John DiCarlo of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Brock started the team's first two games before sustaining an injury of his own, which led to Simon taking over starting duties. Brock will jump back into the starting role with Simon injured and look to improve his efforts from earlier in the year. In two starts Brock completed 59 percent of his passes for 405 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions. If he plays well, he should remain the team's starter even when Simon is healthy again after he initially beat Simon for the job in preseason.

Warming up Thursday Brock (wrist) is in full pads and is warming up ahead of Thursday's game versus Army, Declan Landis of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Brock appears to be past his wrist injury that he suffered in Week 2 at Navy. Regardless of his status, Evan Simon has already been named the Owls' starter after an impressive performance versus Utah State last week.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as backup Thursday Brock (wrist) is listed as the backup quarterback for Thursday's game against Army per the team's official depth chart.

Impact Brock previously missed each of Temple's last two games with injuries and will not start in Thursday's matchup against Army due to a wrist injury. The redshirt junior quarterback struggled through the team's first two games this season, throwing four interceptions to just one touchdown in that timeframe. Fellow quarterback Evan Simon will once again get the start in Brock's place after performing well against Utah State last week.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Utah State Brock (wrist) isn't throwing in pre-game warm-ups and won't play against the Aggies in Week 4, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brock was spotted warming up, but it was with the fourth-team offensive line. Thus, it's no surprise the quarterback is unable to go against Utah State. Evan Simon will get the start for the Owls.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted warming up with backups Brock's wrist is still heavily taped and he's warming up with the fourth-string center, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact This would seem to indicate that Brock won't play, especially considering that he's warming up with the backup offensive line. If the quarterback can't go, Evan Simon would likely take his place under center for the Owls.

Day-to-day again Brock is day-to-day because of a wrist injury, 247Sports reports.

Impact Along with a head injury, Brock also seemingly has a wrist injury, seemingly based on the fact that 247Sports mentioned him throwing the ball as a positive development. Ideally, his multiple injuries are gone by the time Temple's team hosts Utah State on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Week 3 Brock (head) did not appear during Saturday's 28-20 loss against Coastal Carolina.

Impact Brock was sidelined during Week 3 after sustaining a head injury during Temple's 38-11 loss against Navy in Week 2. The 6-foot-3 redshirt junior has struggled in his first season as the starter, throwing for 405 yards (42-of-71), one touchdown and four interceptions across his first two outings. Evan Simon logged an effective game in his absence, and given Brock's early-season struggles, there might be consideration to let Simon run it back against Utah State in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not slated to start Brock (head) isn't expected to start Saturday's game against Coastal Carolina, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brock was suited for warmups, but he didn't end up making throws in warmups, suggesting he won't play after all. Evan Simon is set to make the start under center for the Owls, while Brock appears most likely to miss the contest.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in warmups Brock (head) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Coastal Carolina, DeClan Landis of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Brock was considered day-to-day following last week due to a head injury, but it appears he'll likely give it a go Saturday for the Owls. The junior has had a rough go of it thus far, completing 59.2 percent for 405 yards but a 1:4 TD:INT ratio, and he'll look to get things going in the right direction Saturday.

Day-to-day because of head injury Brock is day-to-day because of a head injury, 247Sports reports.

Three turnovers Saturday Brock completed 30 of 46 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-11 loss versus Navy. He also had five rushes for 16 yards.

Impact Brock had another rough outing Saturday, as he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble for the second consecutive game. He was overall more productive though as he established a great connection with Dante Wright, eventually connecting for a touchdown -- and a two-point conversion -- in the fourth quarter, Brock's first career touchdown pass. He ended up with a more efficient outing Saturday versus his performance in Week 1, but he needs to fix the turnover issue or he could find himself on the bench.

Three turnovers Saturday Brock completed 30 of 46 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-11 loss versus Navy. He also had five rushes for 16 yards.

Struggles in opener Brock completed 12 of 25 passes for 128 yards and two interceptions during Friday's 51-3 defeat to Oklahoma. He also had 14 rushes for negative two yards and one lost fumble.

Impact Brock had a rough start to the 2024 season, but that was to be expected on the road versus a ranked opponent. He completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in a very rough outing. He will look to bounce back Saturday in the first conference game of the season at Navy.

Named starting quarterback Brock was named Temple's starting quarterback Sunday, 247Sports reports.

Impact E.J. Warner transferring to Rice resulted in Temple's football program needing a primary quarterback. Brock and Evan Simon were competing to be the Owls' starting QB. By winning that position, the former has an opportunity to easily surpass his 2023 output in one fell swoop. Brock played only one game that year, serving as relief for Quincy Patterson. The reserve completed seven of 15 passes for 60 yards and one interception.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays for the first time Brock completed 7 of 15 passes for 60 yards and one interception during Friday's 55-0 loss to Southern Methodist. He also had five rushes for -25 yards.

Impact Brock saw his first action for Temple Friday after a rough outing from Quincy Patterson put Brock into the game as the third string. He did not play great as he completed less than 50 percent of his passes and threw an interception, but he will be given slightly more leeway since it was his first time on the field. If E.J. Warner is unable to go again Nov. 4, it is unclear if Brock or Patterson will get the nod in his place.
