One of the greatest all-around athletes ever to wear the garnet and gold, Rohn Stark transferred to Florida State in 1978. In his four years he re-wrote the FSU record book in punting. Stark has most
career punts, 244, highest season average, 46.0, and highest career average, 42.7. His best single game was his last as a Seminole, against Florida in 1981 when he averaged 54.8 yards. Rohn was
captain in '81 and was named 1st team All-American in 1980 and 1981. His magnificent performance against Pitt in 1980 was the most brilliant punting exhibition ever seen in Campbell Stadium. In the
spring Rohn Stark became FSU's finest decathlon athlete. Since graduation he has become one of the greatest punters in the NFL. Rohn Stark's soaring punts made number 3 a potent weapon and gave the
Seminoles the best kicking game in the nation.
