Jalen Rouse brings proven big-play production and pass-catching value to Tennessee State’s backfield
Jalen Rouse has been a productive, versatile Tennessee State runner, peaking in the 2022 season with 613 rushing yards on 129 carries, 4.8 yards per carry, 12 catches for 158 yards, and 3 total touchdowns, and he followed with another efficient 2023 campaign before being used more sparingly in 2024.[2][5] What makes him interesting is his dual-threat skill set: he can handle volume, create chunk gains, and contribute as a receiver, which gives a staff flexibility in scheme and game planning.[2][5] He is a good fit for teams that value a dependable, multi-use RB rather than a pure home-run specialist.[2][5]
