Cole Rotenberry, who has experience both as a player and as a coach in the Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference (MACCC), is now in his third season as the wide receivers instructor for the Tigers.

He tutored a pair of NCAA Division I receivers during his inaugural year on the Booneville campus in Caleb Anderson and Dallas Payne. Payne, who inked with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), had a team-best 36 catches for 399 yards while Akron (Ohio) University signee Anderson racked up 22 receptions and 307 yards.

Rotenberry was an award-winning wideout himself at both Northwest Mississippi Community College and Mississippi College. He was also an impact performer on the special teams unit at both institutions.

The Batesville native was a volunteer assistant at Coahoma Community College two falls ago alongside his twin brother Turner Rotenberry. This is the first full-time position of Rotenberry’s young coaching career.

Rotenberry was part of a resurgent Coahoma program that finished third in the MACCC North Division during the 2020 campaign with a 3-2 overall record. The Tigers also held a No. 28 national ranking in the final JCGridiron Dirty 30 poll.

Von Hill was an All-MACCC selection at Coahoma while under the tutelage of Rotenberry. He had 20 receptions for a team-high 353 yards with two touchdowns for the Tigers.

Rotenberry was sensational during his pair of seasons at Mississippi College. He was recognized by the Gulf South Conference (GSC) on its all-decade team as a special teams utility standout.

He was a first-team All-GSC recipient as a senior after posting a league-best 28.5 yards per kickoff return. Rotenberry had a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown during the Choctaws’ victory over Shorter (Ga.) University.

Rotenberry was Mississippi College’s leading receiver for two straight years with totals of 33 catches, 664 yards and six scores. Three of those touchdowns came in the same game against the Florida Institute of Technology on October 12, 2019.

The South Panola High School graduate had a season-best four receptions for 97 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown catch, versus the University of North Alabama during his junior campaign with the Choctaws.

Rotenberry also reached the end zone that season against the University of West Florida and Shorter. He amassed 1,169 all-purpose yards over 20 career appearances at Mississippi College.

He put up tremendous numbers at Northwest from 2016-17. Rotenberry obtained All-MACCC second-team distinction as a sophomore after topping the Rangers with 55 receptions for 786 yards.

His efforts helped Northwest capture the 2017 MACCC North Division championship and earn two consecutive National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) bowl berths.

Rotenberry had two 100-plus yard performances with the Rangers. He recorded a career-high 105 yards on seven catches versus Itawamba Community College on September 14, 2017.

He had 100 yards on the dot on a career-best nine receptions four weeks later in a home triumph by Northwest over East Mississippi Community College. His lone touchdown with the Rangers came during a win at Holmes Community College earlier that year.

Rotenberry’s overall offensive figures between Mississippi College and Northwest include 89 catches, 1,447 receiving yards, eight total touchdowns and 2,366 all-purpose yards.
