Wilkes University's head football coach, David Biever, has named Matt Rogers as the Colonels' Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach. Rogers returns after previously serving as the Running Backs coach for two seasons and is praised for his coaching ability and offensive expertise. He most recently held the position of Assistant Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and Quarterbacks Coach at SUNY Morrisville, where he significantly improved the team's offensive performance and led them to a postseason bid. Rogers is also lauded for his recruiting skills and will be taking charge of an already high-powered Colonel offense.

By the Numbers
  • Rogers coached an offense at SUNY Morrisville that improved in every statistical category, including yards per game, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.
  • Under his coaching, the Mustangs increased their win total by five games in 2022 and earned a postseason bid for the first time since 2019.
State of Play
  • Rogers is set to take over a high-powered Colonel offense that ranked second in the Landmark Conference in scoring, averaging over 30.5 points per game and 368.2 yards per game.
  • The offense achieved a well-balanced performance, finishing second in rushing with over 170 yards per game and third in passing with 198.2 yards per game through the air.
