Nicholls RB Collin Guggenheim: Career-Capped Legend Now Coaching, Not Playing
Collin Guggenheim is no longer an active athlete; he finished his playing career last month and immediately became Nicholls State's running backs coach in 2025, now serving as RBs coach and special teams coordinator in 2026[2][5][7]. As a player, he was Nicholls' all-conference RB with a dominant 3,283-yard, 33-TD career (642 carries, 5.1 AVG), highlighted by a 153-yard, 4-TD game vs. Incarnate Word and a 67-yard TD vs. #18 LSU[1][3][6][8]. His differentiators were explosive breakaway speed (67-yard TD), elite scoring intensity (4-TD games), and reliable receiving (44 catches, 312 yards)[6][7][9]. If you're asking 'why care' or 'fit for my team': care for his proven big-play legacy and coaching insight, but he is not a fit as a player since he's retired and now coaching[2][5].
