Dace III served in a similar role under head coach Scott Satterfield at Louisville in 2022. He helped propel a rushing attack that ranked second in the ACC and 23rd nationally with 200.6 yards per game.
Before Louisville, Dace III spent one season at Tulane as an offensive graduate assistant working with the wide receivers and on the recruiting staff.
