The versatile fullback and short-yardage specialist has taken his game to a new level in 2024 with 101 rushing yards on 24 carries while his six touchdowns are just one behind Justin McInnis for the team lead.
Rourke (81.9 PFF Grade)- along with completing 22 of 34 passes for 304 yards and a second-quarter touchdown to Ayden Eberhardt, Rourke was an X-factor on the ground as his 18-yard touchdown run helped put the game away in the late stages.
