Geoff Rowson was an All-American offensive lineman for the Thunder football team. He earned First Team All-American honors at guard from Football Gazette as a junior in 2006. He was twice honored as a D3football.com All-North Region selection, earning First Team honors in 2006 and Second Team recognition in 2007.
A three-time All-CCIW selection, Rowson twice earned First Team All-Conference honors. He was a member of two CCIW Championship units for the Thunder, helping Wheaton to conference titles in 2004 and 2006. Wheaton made the NCAA Division III Playoffs in both 2004 and 2006, advancing into the Second Round both seasons.
In his 2006 All-American campaign, Rowson anchored a Thunder offensive line that ranked 10th in Division III in total offense as the squad averaged 421.9 yards of offense per game.
Geoff says of his time at Wheaton, "My experience as an offensive lineman playing football at Wheaton left me with enduring life lessons that continue to shape my journey. The value of hard work, meticulous attention to detail, and the pursuit of excellence across all aspects of life stands out as one of the most impactful takeaways. These values, nurtured by my coaches, teammates, and the Wheaton Football culture, now serve as guiding principles in my career, family life, and my faith. As an offensive lineman, I also grasped the importance of being a servant leader—an essential philosophy that emphasizes contributing to the team's success while often working behind the scenes to support others. This approach has significantly influenced my leadership style and approach to business today."
