Playing career

Born in Playas, New Mexico, [1] Ragle was a two-time all-state selection at running back for Animas High School in New Mexico and played college football at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. He was a three-year starter at running back for the Division II Greyhounds, [2] and also returned kicks. [3]

Coaching career

High school

From 2000 to 2004, Ragle served as the defensive coordinator at Moon Valley High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Moon Valley made the state playoffs in the final three years, and in 2004, they finished with a 14–0 record as state champions. [3] In early 2005 Ragle and offensive coordinator Dave Huffine departed Moon Valley to join Ron Estabrook's staff at powerhouse Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. [4]

After a stop as a graduate assistant for Arizona State in 2006 under Dirk Koetter, Ragle returned to the high school ranks as the head coach at Chaparral, following Estabrook's retirement. In five seasons, from 2007 to 2011, Ragle led his team to a 63–7 overall record, and won state championships in his final three seasons. [2] Among his players at Chaparral was future NFL Pro Bowl offensive tackle Taylor Lewan. Lewan would be recruited by then-University of Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez, and Rodriguez and Ragle became acquainted. [1]

Idaho State

In December 2021, Ragle was hired to succeed Rob Phenicie as the head coach at Idaho State University in the Big Sky Conference. [5] It was his first opportunity as a collegiate head coach. Following a frustrating 1–10 first season in Pocatello, Ragle resigned in late November to join the staff at Arizona State. [6] [7]
