Rodgers collected RMAC Offensive Player of the Week following his huge game both on the ground and in the receiving game against New Mexico Highlands. He led the team in both rushing and receiving yards in the win over the Cowboys. He amassed 163 yards on 29 carries and had three scores with a long run of 41 yards that went for a score. His three touchdowns helped lead the comeback, as he tallied three of the final four touchdowns for WNMU in the second half including the game-winning TD. If his rushing attack wasn't enough he became the ultimate dual-threat catching nine passes for 101 yards, with a long reception of 30 yards leading the team in both receptions and yards giving him 264 all-purpose yards on the day. He had six rushes and four receptions that each went for at least 10 yards. He is second in the league in rushing yards and is tied for the top spot in rushing scores. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry and 11.2 yards per catch.
