Mike Rozier is a former University of Nebraska-Lincoln running back and NFL running back. A native of Camden, New Jersey, Rozier was a Heisman Trophy Award winner in 1983 and was also inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In his professional career, Rozier competed in the USFL for two seasons and then spent six years in the NFL playing for the Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons.

In his sophomore season as a Husker, Rozier emerged as such a talent that he was challenging the great Roger Craig for a starting position. With Craig being moved to fullback, Rozier won the running back spot in the fall prior to his junior year. Rozier achieved a variety of honors in his stellar junior year in 1982. Most notably, he broke Bobby Reynold's long-standing school record for rushing yards in a single season, with 1,689 yards. Nebraska would post a 12-1 record that year and capture a Big 8 Championship.

As a senior, Rozier led the nation with 2,486 total yards and an incredible 29 touchdowns scored. The dynamic running back would achieve over 200 yards in each of the last four regular season games of the season. Rozier would be awarded the prestigious 1983 Heisman Trophy for all his accomplishments.

When he moved on to professional football, Rozier played for the Houston Oilers from 1985-1990 and then for one season on the Atlanta Falcons. He rushed for 4,462 yards and had 30 touchdowns in his career. Rozier was also both a college and professional football teammate of Dr. Jamie Williams.
