Terrez Worthy - Not working with top backs Worthy was not working with the top backs in the early portion of spring practice, according to Rivals.com.

Impact Jay Ducker and Joquez Smith were listed as the top backs, so it's unclear the kind of role Worthy will have in the 2025 campaign. He saw a lot of carries in the second half of the 2024 season, though, tallying 72 rushes for 369 yards and four scores, as well as 15 catches for 54 yards on 21 targets, in his final seven appearances.

Joquez Smith - Working among top backs Smith is working among the top backs in spring practice, according to Rivals.com.

Impact Smith didn't have his best season in 2024, as he rushed just 36 times for 132 yards and a touchdown across 12 appearances. However, the fact that he's working among the top backs in the early portion of the spring suggests that he should have a bigger role in 2025 as long as he stays healthy.

Jay Ducker - Operating as top-two RB Ducker is operating as one of Temple's top-two running backs for the spring, John Di Carlo of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Ducker has transferred from a CUSA team to an AAC team, which is expected to have a more rigorous conference schedule, insisting questions on how much of a valuable role he will have with Temple after his excellent 2024 for Sam Houston. Di Carlo's update suggests the running back may get a similar role with TU, though that is not for sure. Ducker and Joquez Smith operated as a Temple practice's top-two running backs, and it may be too early to rule out Terrez Worthy being an excellent option for carries.

Ian Stewart - Limited but in pads Stewart (quadriceps) is limited but in pads for Temple's spring practice, John Di Carlo of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Back in late-August, Stewart underwent quadriceps surgery that ended his 2024 season before it could even begin. Fast forward more than half a year later, and he has yet to fully recover from the injury. At the very least, Stewart is making progress, which suggests he could be available when Temple's team logs its spring game on April 12.
