Rouse in an offensive lineman who's met with the Eagles as likely a Day 3 draft pick in the NFL draft. He also dreams of being a doctor.
That desire to help others was sparked in part by the death of his aunt who had Down syndrome and a related medical condition affecting her heart in 2017. Rouse completed the program at Penn shortly before Stanford offered him an athletic scholarship, going on to earn 39 starts in 40 games over the course of four years while completing a degree in biomedical engineering.
At a young age, football failed to capture Rouse’s interest. He gravitated toward basketball instead, following in the footsteps of his late grandfather Walter “Vic” Rouse, who scored the winning basket in overtime of the 1963 NCAA championship game for Loyola University of Chicago against Cincinnati.
“I know it sounds crazy,” Rouse laughed. “And so that’s my earliest memory of football. And at that time, my mom was like, ‘OK, you know what? We’re going to stick with basketball. We’ll come back to football later.’” “I want to do research with that,” Rouse said. “Maybe one day help create synthetic organs so we don’t have to worry about organ transplants because we’ll 3D print you a liver or something.”
“He’s a big guy,” Raym said of Rouse. “He’s super athletic and strong. He’s smart. He doesn’t get out of position all too often. So he’s got pretty much every characteristic you can look for in a football player.”While Rouse played almost exclusively at left tackle throughout his college career, he said that teams have inquired throughout the predraft process about his ability to play right tackle or even move inside to guard.
