He was the #107 ranked RB in his recruiting class. Has Shonn's build at 5'10", 230 lbs., so he is a load. Recruited by Indiana, Northwestern (so this two game stretch may give him a little motivation), Toledo and Bowling Green.
Per ESPNU:
Rogers is a battering ram at the running back position, and a kid with the body structure and strength to carry the load at the next level. He is very compact, thickly- built and powerful through his hips and lower-body. Carries his 230-pounds well and shows great urgency out of his stance through the hole. Bruising, downhill runner but displays deceptive suddenness and decisive cutting ability at his size to slide through the cutback creases. Great burst for a back with his bulk and he can quickly slice through a defense. Difficult for smaller linebackers and defensive backs to arm tackle with the good initial downhill speed and power he generates in the short-area. Will lower the shoulder on contact and often bounces off and through defenders earning good YAC. Finishes runs and is an effective moving the pile in short-yardage situations with his great lower-body strength. However, for a kid built low to the ground, he lacks great balance and tends to get tripped up on lower arm tackles and is susceptible to getting chopped down low. We would like to see better body-tilt and lean to transfer his current YAC to the next level and remain durable in a high carry role. Better burst in the short-area than top-end speed in the second level and will not elude many college defensive backs in space. Overall, Rogers could play tailback for a team who employs heavy, downhill power-schemes not an outside zone-type runner. Potential to play fullback as well; shows good hands in the screen game, excels at the quick hitters and is more than capable with his physical tools to become a formidable blocker. Displays good tools in the short-range at outside 'backer and could develop there in the right system as well.
