Halfback Will Rogers, described by The Orlando Evening Sentinel as a "150-pound streak", was the star on offense.[1] 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."[2]

Other key players included end Danny Contini who was called "one of the smartest players" ever to play for Rollins and brilliant on defense. Center "Flop" Morris and quarterback Ray "Heimie" Miller played every minute of every game for the 1932 Rolins team.[1]

Robert K. Evans was also a coach. MacDowall and Evans both played football at North Carolina.[1]

The team played its home games at Tinker Field in Orlando.
