Player Summary:

Rogers is a senior DT that has played the defensive line position with 1 year of starting experience. Transferred from Nebraska in 2022. Has experience aligning along the interior as a 1,3, and 5 tech in Oregon’s defensive front. Has rare height and marginal weight and speed to play the position. Shows above-average athletic ability with quick feet, play quickness, play speed, and efficiency of movement. Has a tall athletic build with adequate arm length and marginal lower body build. Displays a good bend to play in a 3pt stance and bursts to get his first initial step at the LOS. As a run defender, he has above-average initial quickness to read and react at the LOS by setting up to take on OL. Has good SAP with violent hands that gives him the ability to control responsibilities vs. drive blocks to grab offensive linemen to set up and enable him to shed or release blocks and make the tackle. As a pass rusher, he shows an average burst to get upfield and push the pocket as a power rusher. Has above-average lateral movement to move along the LOS and pursuit movement to the ball from snap to whistle showing that he has effort and a high motor. A sure tackler that can stop ballcarriers at the LOS. Displays below-average strength and a high pad level to be a stout defender against DBL team blocks causing him to be taken out of the play. Lacks lower pad level, hip mobility, and UOH to make quick contact and accelerate to the QB as a pass rusher. His lack of skills as a pass rusher has prevented him from being a 3 down player.
