Joe Rauls begins his third year as a graduate assistant coach at Baylor, having joined the Bears' staff in June 2003. He'll again work with Baylor's defensive coaches after serving as a graduate assistant running backs coach at Sam Houston State during the 2002 season.

A 2002 Sam Houston State graduate with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology, Rauls co-captained the Bearkats' 2001 Southland Conference championship team.

Rauls led Sam Houston State in rushing in 1998, 1999 and 2001, and finished with three-year career totals of 2,265 yards and 15 touchdowns on 504 carries. He ranks as Sam Houston State's fifth all-time leading rusher and earned 2001 second-team All-Southland Conference honors.

A leader off the field, too, Rauls was a three-time Academic All-Southland Conference selection and served as president of the Sam Houston State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee as a senior.

A Waco, Texas, native, Rauls was an all-state running back at LaVega High School, gaining 2,756 yards during his three-year high school career.
