Fresno State’s all-time leading rusher is moving up the coaching ranks rather quickly.
According to a release, former Bulldogs tailback Robbie Rouse has been named the new running backs coach at North Dakota.
“I’m very appreciative of Coach (Bubba) Schweigert for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the UND coaching and for my family to join the Grand Forks community,” said Rouse in a statement. “I am excited to get things going and get with the running backs.”
Rouse left Fresno in 2013 as the program’s leader with 4,647 yards rushing. He also scored 37 rushing touchdowns over his four year career too.
After a brief stint in the NFL and the CFL, Rouse recently got into coaching in 2017 at Division III College of St. Scholastica. After that, he moved on to Augustana and helped lead the team into the Division II playoff.
Now the former Fresno State star is back in the Division I ranks at UND.
