In total, Rouse played in 40 games after coming to Stanford as a three-star recruit out of Washington D.C. He ranked as the No. 37 offensive tackle prospect in the country for his cycle.

He marks the fifth offensive lineman that Stanford has lost to the portal, which Cardinal fans can take one of two ways. One, that is a lot of lost experience to the portal that new head coach Troy Taylor will have to overcome, or that unit struggled for the past few seasons and maybe some new faces won't hurt.
