Community Film Room, Episode 56

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Winter rankings update pinpointed even more players from the 2025, 2026 and 2027 classes who have stood out in their respective positions. For a variety of reasons, our team decided that each of those new additions were worthy of a coveted spot in our rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But we'd be naive to think we've evaluated everyone or didn't miss a few along the way.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PRZ South Carolina is constantly looking at as many of the 10,000-plus prep football players in the SCHSL and SCISA ranks as possible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now, the Community Film Room is back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In each edition, we'll break down five unranked players from across the state to let you see what we're seeing.

Let's just say the move has taken the 6-foot, 185-pound rising senior to a place where he absolutely isn't staring at his last year of organized football.rnrnRogers is a big-hitting safety, yes. He's also pretty good in coverage. It all stems from what is a clairvoyance of opposing offenses and what they're trying to do while he's getting from point A to Point B.rnrnJust for giggles, Rogers also logged another 29 yards and a score in occasional wildcat sets during a couple games and even chipped in on some returns. The variety to his game has us wondering where he'll end up playing on Saturdays.
