"I'm really excited to add Jose to the staff," Worthen said of Robles. "He has coaching experience at the junior college and Division I level and has been successful at both. Jose shares my vision for building the soccer program here at FAU. His familiarity with the recruiting landscape in Florida will help us recruit top players from across the state, and most importantly he will serve as a great mentor to these young men as we strive to help them reach their potential off the field as well as on."
