Rogers measures in at 5’8 200-pounds and is a bruising power back for Thomas Jefferson. Last season, he had 223 carries for 1060 yards with 11 touchdowns, including 3 receptions for 34 yards. Rogers has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, balance, good acceleration, and speed. Very good vision to consistently find a path through the defense. Very good inside running. Uses his feet to pick, slide, and accelerate into the open hole. If it’s covered, he’ll use his change of direction to explode into an open gap. Good outside running. Rogers does a great job getting yards after contact. The downhill threat will run through defenders with his trucking, give a nasty stiff arm, or bounce off for extra yards. Powerful legs to churn through multiple defenders. Rogers has also shown the ability to pass protect. Rising running back.

Rogers has been a model of consistency this season. A compact and powerful runner, he’s racked up 824 yards on 166 carries, averaging five yards per attempt and punching in seven touchdowns. Rogers thrives on contact, using his lower body strength to power through tackles and keep the chains moving. His physicality and patience behind his blockers allow him to wear down defenses over four quarters. He’s the type of back that sets the tone early and closes out games late. As Thomas Jefferson gears up for a postseason push, Rogers’ reliability and toughness will continue to be a key part of their success down the stretch.
