Cole Boozer, a former professional Football player turned assistant coach, brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role as a graduate assistant with The Temple Owls. With a strong background in the game, Boozer is no stranger to Owls fans, having been a three-time letterwinner during his tenure at Temple University from 2013 to 2017. His journey as a player included being part of the 2016 American Athletic Conference Championship team and making three bowl appearances while playing both tight end and offensive line under three different coaches.
Boozer’s football career began at Loyola Blakefield, where he excelled as a middle linebacker before catching the attention of scouts with his impressive physical attributes, standing tall at 6ft 4” and weighing 200 pounds while boasting a 4.6 40-yard dash. His versatility and athleticism earned him a scholarship to Temple, where he transitioned seamlessly to the offensive line and tight end positions.
After his collegiate career, Boozer earned a roster spot with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018 before joining the XFL’s DC Defenders a year later. Throughout his professional career, he garnered praise for his dedication to protecting his teammates, particularly quarterback Cardale Jones. Despite facing setbacks due to injuries, Boozer’s love for the game remained unwavering.
In January 2022, Boozer returned to Temple Football, joining the coaching staff after a stint as an intern under former head coach Geoff Collins at Georgia Tech in 2021. Now, as he focuses on working with the offensive line alongside Chris Wiesehan, Boozer continues to bring his passion, knowledge, and dedication to the sport he loves.
