Defensive end/outside linebacker Jared Folks (Harrisburg, Pa./Susquehanna) has committed to play in the newly-formed American Athletic Conference for Temple, the Patriot-News reports.

Buffalo and Massachusetts also extended scholarship offers to the 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect. Connecticut showed interest.

"Temple was the school I've wanted to go to since last year," he said. "Ever since Averee Robinson [a 2012 Susquehanna grad] committed to Temple my goal was to get there and join him."

Folks registered eight sacks and one interception during his junior campaign.
