the Challenge
Although their 2019 campaign ended in a victory at the Red Orange Bowl, College of Dupage football was just 15-17 over the previous three seasons. Unable to offer athletic scholarships, one of the biggest obstacles for the coaching staff at COD was recruiting.
In 2021, NJCAA football split into two divisions to separate competition among schools with equal resources. As the Chaparrals prepared for this new era, the coaching staff began seeking opportunities to separate themselves from the pack.
the solution
After seven seasons as an Associate Head Coach, Matt Rahn took over as the Head Coach at College of Dupage in 2021.
With a new era underway for both the NJCAA and COD, Coach’s top priority was ensuring his team got the most out of practice. Rahn was introduced to GoRout technology ahead of his first season at the helm and fully embraced the system.
By streamlining preparation and optimizing communication on the field, The College of Dupage football team was able to 3X their daily practice reps.
the outcome
Since implementing GoRout Scout in 2021, College of DuPage has become one of the most dominant programs in junior college football.
The Chaparrals have gone 48-8 overall, averaged nearly 10 wins per season, and captured five consecutive NJCAA Division III National Championships. In 2025, COD finished 8-2, averaged 37.9 points per game, produced 426 yards per game, and defeated North Dakota State College of Science 36-13 to complete the five-peat.
By updating their practice communication, COD optimized preparation, maximized execution, and unlocked the efficiency needed to sustain a championship standard year after year.
College of DuPage has not just become the premier program in NJCAA Division III football. They have built one of the most dominant championship runs in modern college football.
