A familiar face isjoining the Arizona State coaching staff as an assistant running backs coach. Former quarterback Trenton Bourguet was on the Arizona State roster for six years, mostly serving as a backup, but is now taking on a new role.

Bourguet voiced his desire to become a coach the moment Kenny Dillingham got there, so it is not a surprise that the opportunity came up. However, this was a dream of his before he was even a Sun Devil.
Thanks to his father's flag football league, Tucson Turf, Bourguet got a taste of coaching football early on. In fact, he was my head coach.
I joined the Tucson Turf girls flag football team for the 2018-19 season. Bourguet coached us all the way to the national championship in Florida -- andwe came home with the win.
I got a firsthand glimpse of having Trenton Bourguet as my coach, and he showed nothing short of what it is like to be a leader. He was patient, encouraging, and always the first to believe in each of us. I fully feel like a coach can make or break a sport for someone, and he made it fun while still pushing us to be better every day. Those kinds of traits are what makes him such a natural fit to be a coach.
Bourguet may have started his journey in Tempe as a walk-on quarterback, but now his impact on the program will go beyond the box score. As someone who has seen his leadership up close, all I can say is Arizona State is lucky to keep him around.
