Zack Rogers brings a proven leg and rare walk-on grit to New Mexico
In the 2014 season, Zack Rogers gave New Mexico real special-teams value as both a punter and kicker, averaging 42.6 yards on 56 punts, placing 17 inside the 20, and showing he could flip field position with booming 50-plus-yard kicks; he also hit 43 extra points and earned a scholarship after arriving as a walk-on. What makes him intriguing is the combo of toughness, versatility, and rapid development—he became a semifinalist for the Burlsworth Trophy and was praised as one of the top athletes on the team, the kind of steady, no-drama piece coaches love.
