Texas Elite Spartans bring back a legend: Rasan Gore named Running Backs Coach & Recruiting Coordinator

The Texas Elite Spartans are dipping back into their dynasty DNA, naming former Spartans All-Pro and WNFC great Rasan Gore as the team’s new running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. The move reunites one of the league’s most decorated playmakers with the franchise she helped turn into the standard of women’s tackle football , just as Texas gears up for another run at the IX Cup.

Gore’s return underscores the Spartans’ championship-or-bust ethos. Texas is the WNFC’s most accomplished program with five league titles — including the 2025 crown — the most in conference history.

Few in the women’s game can match Rasan Gore’s combination of production, versatility, and longevity. A cornerstone of the Texas Elite Spartans during their early WNFC dominance, Gore helped deliver three IX Cup titles and collected multiple league honors, including the WNFC MVP. Her résumé extends beyond Texas, as she made the 2013 U.S. Women’s National Team as a defensive back and was later recognized among Spartans tapped for additional USA squads, underscoring her national-level pedigree.

Over a career spanning more than two decades, Gore lined up at running back, wide receiver, and quarterback, a rare three-tool playmaker who brings a complete understanding of the game to the Spartans’ sideline. Even after leaving Texas, her impact remained felt across the league, with her 2023 passing total of 1,282 yards standing as a benchmark for the next wave of players, further cementing her legacy as both a dynamic athlete and a football mind built for championships.

Texas has been at its best when the offense marries a downhill run game with tempo and spacing. Gore’s background across positions equips her to coach footwork, vision and pass-pro with a quarterback’s understanding of protections and a receiver’s eye for leverage, the exact blend modern RB rooms need to thrive.

Expect an emphasis on cut-up driven coaching: duo/inside-zone reads, counter footwork progression, and screen-game timing that turns check-downs into explosives. Gore’s history as a breakaway threat meshes with the Spartans’ championship DNA, long, clock-draining drives punctuated by chunk gains.

As recruiting coordinator, Gore steps into prospects DMs with instant legitimacy: WNFC rings, Team USA credentials, and name recognition across the women’s football ecosystem. That credibility should accelerate Texas’ pipeline at RB/slot and along the offensive line, the two talent pools that most directly swing WNFC title races.

Texas isn’t just collecting trophies, it’s building a program. Since 2018, the Spartans have authored an unmatched run of dominance, stacking undefeated seasons and conference titles and setting the expectation that June football runs through North Texas. Bringing back a foundational piece like Gore signals continuity of that standard for a locker room that measures success only in rings.

Bottom line: Spartans just added a champion to coach champions. That’s how dynasties stay dynasties.
