It was the first undefeated season in Rollins football history. The victory over Miami (FL) was also the first for a Rollins team. Halfback Will Rogers, described by ''The Orlando Evening Sentinel'' as a "150-pound streak", was the star on offense. At the banquet following the season, Rogers' jersey bearing number 43 was placed in the trophy room "to be used in the last home game each season by the most deserving senior on the squad." Other key players included end Danny Contini who was called "one of the smartest players" ever to play for Rollins and brilliant on defense.

MacDowall and Evans both played football at North Carolina. The team played its home games at Tinker Field in Orlando.
