Biography:
Rouse finished his senior year with 29 receptions for 608 yards and 8 touchdowns. He also rushed the ball five times for 108 yards and two scores. Defensively he recorded 39 tackles, two interceptions (one returned for touchdown) and caused three fumbles. Rouse also returned two punts and one kickoff for a touchdown.

Coach's comments: "I don't know who is the best but Fred is right up there with them," said Lincoln Head Coach Dave Wilson. "All of those guys (Cromartie, Dickey, Watkins, Thorpe, etc.) have special qualities and so does Fred. Besides being so athletic he has great instincts. In addition to being an outstanding wide receiver he is a great kick returner and just has that knack for finding the crease. Fred Rouse will be a player that stands on his own."

Scouting Report: Rouse is an exceptional talent blessed with super size and speed. He can beat you every kind of way (deep, over the middle, and take the short pass the distance) and when he gets in the open field he runs like a gazelle. He is the same kind of athlete as Antonio Cromartie with the ball in his hand but he is a more polished receiver at this stage and has more consistent hands. Rouse can jump through the gym, has excellent quickness and is a super kick returner. Rouse could be the top receiver from the state of Florida over the past few seasons. The bottom line is that Fred Rouse is a difference maker and a potential franchise player at the receiver position.
