SMU kicker Collin Rogers has had a great start to the 2024 season and set a record for the program Saturday.
Rogers is off to a strong start this season and passed a major milestone in Saturday’s game against Louisville.SMU place kicker Collin Rogers kicks a field goal during the first half of an NCAA football game against BYU at Ford Stadium on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024, in Dallas.That kick made Rogers the all-time points leader in SMU history with 289, passing Eric Dickerson, Doak Walker and Xavier Jones, who were all tied with 288.
Rogers’ only misses have been from 50+ where he’s 5-for-8 on the year. He’s 6-for-6 from 30-49 yards and saw one kick blocked inside the 30 against Florida State.“We put him in some tough situations,” Lashlee said. “It’s a weapon offensively when you can be aggressive, knowing once you get past the 40, you’re in scoring range. It’s a big deal in college football.”
“I was really wanting to break it at home, but I can’t really complain, and to break it on a 55-yarder is very, very nice,” he said.Rogers has continued his upward trajectory, which started in the middle of last season. He began the 2023 season just 2-for-5 on field goal attempts before turning the year around and ending as an All-ACC first-team kicker.“I kind of went into this year acting like I’m just out playing high school because that’s what worked for me in high school,” Rogers said.
