Tom Rogers was a wide receiver who used his size and soft hands to become one of the most successful receivers in the school's football history. In his senior year, the three-year letterwinner was named to the Associated Press third team All-America squad and first team All-East. He was the first Colgate player to earn Division I All-America honors since the 1936 season. He also was given the Andy Kerr Trophy, presented annually to the offensive MVP on the Colgate squad. Rogers, who was the leading receiver in 1980 and 1981, finished his collegiate career with a then school record 120 receptions for 1,921 yards and eight touchdowns. He also set school records for most receptions in a game (11), season (52), and yards gained receiving in a game (187).
