He made it seem like I was wanted, made me feel like the family I needed was right there in Laramie and made sure I knew I could have an opportunity to have an impact on the program immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to the process of getting Wyoming to the Fiesta Bowl and being Mountain West Conference champs like coach (Craig) Bohl has in mind,&#8221; said the Longmont kicker.<\/p>\n<p>Rothe is number one in the State of Colorado when it comes to kickoffs, points after touchdowns and the state&#8217;s longest field goal. When it comes to kickoffs he has 28 touch-backs on 39 kickoffs on the season. He has also made 26 of 29 PAT&#8217;s, with the 3 missed being blocked. He has also made 3 of 4 field goals with the longest being a 55-yarders against Pueblo East in the season opener.\u00a0 Rothe has the capabilities to make field goals up to 65 yards.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B0WfS-vadF4?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>During the off-season, Rothe attended a Kohls kicking camp in California last Christmas break.
