📍 Roosevelt Rough Riders·Wednesday, July 8, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Roosevelt Rough Riders announced Friday that assistant coach Ryan Jenkins has been elevated to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after three seasons developing talent within the program. The Rough Riders, a Class 11AA team from Sioux Falls, posted a 5-4 record last season. Jenkins' promotion is seen as a key move in the team's quest to compete with top programs in the state. The Rough Riders have been actively recruiting in the region, targeting top prospects in the Class of 2027. With Jenkins at the helm, the team is expected to improve its pass defense, a key area of focus heading into the 2026 season. The Rough Riders will hold their annual summer camp in late July, where Jenkins will put his new unit to the test.
