Career statistics
2011: Rogowski wrapped up his career as one of the program’s most prolific special teams players. He was named Ithaca’s Outstanding Specialist at the postseason banquet, earning that award for the third time in his career (a school record). A second-team Empire 8 all-star as both a punter and kicker, Rogowski was a second-team selection to BSN's all-America team as a kicker. Rogowski was Ithaca's leading scorer, kicking a school-record 13 field goals and converting all 15 of his extra-point attempts. His 13 field goals broke his own two-year-old school record and ranked seventh in the nation. Rogowski averaged 39.2 yards per punt, putting eight of his kicks inside the 20-yard line. Only 12 of his 34 punts were returned (seven were fair caught), helping Ithaca rank fourth in Division III in net punting. He was named Ithaca's Specialist of the Week after the Union, Utica, Frostburg State and Cortland games and was picked as Empire 8 Special Teams Player of the Week after beating Frostburg State with a field goal on the final play of the game. Rogowski scored a career-high 13 points in the win at Union, converting all four point after touchdown tries and kicking field goals of 21, 31 and 41 yards. He recorded three other two-field goal performances – against Utica, Alfred and Frostburg State. His second 34-yard field goal against the Bobcats came on the game’s final play, giving the Bombers their first win ever on the last play of a game. Seven of his 34 punts were fair caught and another resulted in a touchback. Rogowski pinned opponents inside their 20-yard line eight times. His longest punt was a 52-yard kick against Alfred and he added a 50-yarder in the Utica game. He wrapped up his career with school records for field-goal accuracy (75.0 percent, converting 39 of 52) and extra-point success (93.9 percent, making 123 of 131).

2009: Rogowski enjoyed one of the program’s most successful special teams seasons, earning first-team Empire 8 and ECAC and second-team all-region honors as a kicker as well as second-team all-conference recognition as a punter. He was named the team’s Outstanding Specialist for the second straight season. He made a school-record 12 field goals and converted 31 of his 33 extra-point attempts, finishing with 67 points (the third-highest single-season total ever by a Bomber kicker). Rogowski averaged 34.5 yards per punt, putting 10 of his 35 kicks inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. In Ithaca’s season-ending win over Cortland he became the first Ithaca punter to kick two 50-yard punts in the same game. He was named the Empire 8 Special Teams Player of the Week three times – more than any other player – earning the award after Ithaca’s wins over Widener, #25 Alfred and Cortland. His performance against Widener earned him a spot on D3football.com’s Team of the Week as well. Rogowski was named the team’s Outstanding Specialist after the Widener, Utica, St. John Fisher and Alfred games.

2008: Rogowski was named Ithaca’s Outstanding Specialist and earned honorable mention to the Empire 8 all-star team after being pressed into regular duty early in the season opener following an injury to Ithaca’s returning starter.

Rogowski also earned that honor after the win at Alfred that clinched the Empire 8 title and the Cortaca Jug win over the previously unbeaten Red Dragons. He made 50 of 54 extra-point attempts and five-of-six field goals tries, giving him 62 points – already 10th all-time among Ithaca kickers. Rogowski’s nine extra points and 10 tries in the win over Hartwick both set single-game Bomber records. In both the King’s and Alfred wins he kicked field goals on the final play of the half. |
