Temple has received a football commitment from offensive lineman Davis DiVall, from Scottsdale, Arizona, who will play this fall at Bridgton Academy, a prep school in Maine.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound DiVall made his decision on Saturday after visiting Temple.

DiVall, who attended Notre Dame Prep in Scottsdale, Arizona, impressed the Temple staff when he attended a camp at the school during the summer.

According to a person familiar with his recruiting, Temple liked his size, strength and speed and considers him a late-bloomer.

DiVall made an unofficial visit on Saturday to the school, where Temple held a barbecue for players who have made commitments for the class of 2019 and other invited potential recruits.

Among others who were at the Saturday barbecue were Pleasantville linebacker Mohamed Toure and highly regarded placekicker Ryan Coe of South Fayette High in McDonald, PA. Temple remains in the running for both players.

DiVall is the 21st player to make a commitment for the Class of 2019.
