Men's College Player Of The Week: Kyle Rogers, Arizona

Arizona's Kyle Rogers is the FloRugby Men's College Player of the Week after scoring three tries in the Wildcats' 70-19 win over Utah this past weekend.

Read that sentence carefully: 70-19 is no fluke. Nor is it a regular occurrence, which is why it's noteworthy. It tells us all that Arizona is actually quite strong this year and that maybe we should all pay a bit more attention. 

And at the center of all of that is Rogers, who led the Wildcats' attack from fullback.

"Kyle has been here through the times when Utah used to hand it to us," Arizona head coach Sean Duffy said. "He went through the growing pains, and now we're starting to see the benefits of the youth movement. From this past week, he saw his opportunities, scored three, and set up a fourth."

The 6-foot-3 fullback has pace and is an outstanding leader.

"He's exactly what you want in a captain and a team leader," Duffy said.

The ninth-ranked Wildcats are off to a 3-0 start this year, with wins also against Grand Canyon (53-22) and UCLA (33-10). Arizona next hosts No. 3 Cal this Sunday in Tucson.
