About Liam
Expert Analysis
Robert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Rogelstad is a safety that has the ability to be a hybrid defender, being able to drop down into the box and be an outside backer. He plays with quickness being able to recognize the play quickly and shooting the gap. He is a good open field tackler and can be a punishing tackler that dislodge the football. He has just committed to Augustana University and is going to be a great addition to this DB room that has another Colorado committed player.

Rogelstad is a must know name this upcoming season. He plays as a deep safety who will come into the box to lay the boom on unsuspecting ballcarriers. Measuring in at 6’0 180 pounds, Rogelstad accounted for 46 total tackles (33 solo, 13 assisted), 3 TFL, 3 PD. Liam has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, change of direction, and good speed. His mental processing impressed me. He was consistently looking at the QB’s eyes and following the ball. He even read a WR screen, and jumped the route almost getting an interception. Rogelstad will also punch the ball out of the wideout’s hands to create an incompletion or a fumble. Liam has a good back pedal which comes in handy when sticking to the WR in man coverage. Liam dominates in zone coverage. He’s patient with his tackling. Not getting overzealous and missing his zone assignment. I’m excited to see how Rogelstad balls out this upcoming season.

Good competitive toughness as he demonstrates a high motor, and will play after the whistle. Good mental processing, as he is able to identify the gaps and rush them with ease. Rogelstad has very good downhill speed. He trusts his instincts and goes where the ball is at. He’s a physical linebacker, and loves to create contact.

Rogelstad is a safety that plays with a lot of speed and looks like he is shot out of a cannon when coming up to make a play. He is a player that has the ability to come up and play in the box and can use his speed to get around the lineman and make a play in the back field. He has great vision and can come up and make a tackle in the open field, being able to make a big hit as well. He is a player that bring some physicality to the safety position and that is apart of his appeal as a player. Will be an under the radar safety to keep an eye on moving forward.

Rogelstad is a true standout with an extremely high ceiling. He is a downhill defender who embodies the role of a true safety because of his ability to cover as the deep man over the top, lock onto the slot receiver and take the correct angles to reach the flats, and line up in the box as an extra defender to play against the run. Rogelstad’s impressive speed and physicality helped him set an extremely high bar for himself, putting him on pace to exceed expectations by potentially having one of the more noteworthy junior seasons and becoming a breakout prospect.
