Rory McTigue was one of the finest offensive threats to ever play at Frostburg State. A standout fullback, McTigue ran for 2,764 yards on 655 carries in his three seasons and set career records with 46 rushing touchdowns, 48 total touchdowns and 292 points.
McTigue broke onto the FSU football scene as a sophomore, scoring 13 touchdowns - 11 rushing, one receiving and one on a punt return. As a junior, McTigue was named the ECAC Division III Southern Player of the Year after establishing single-season school records with 19 rushing touchdowns, 19 total touchdowns and 114 points scored.
As a senior, McTigue ran for a career-high 930 yards and scored another 16 rushing touchdowns to earn ECAC All-Star and Champion Sports Honorable Mention All-America honors.
He enjoyed his finest day against Catholic, tying a school record with four rushing scores, including a school-record 93-yard touchdown run, and he added two more to lead FSU to a 46-16 win over William Paterson in the ECAC Southeast Championship.
In McTigue's three seasons, the Bobcats posted a 26-6 overall record (the best mark over any three-year span in program history), won a school-record 13 straight games (1989 to 1990) and advanced to a pair of ECAC Championship contests.
