Teammate of superstar LB prospect Jeff Luc.

UGa Rivals - 06/25/09

Committed to Georgia.

The Bulldogs obviously got into the game early with Rogers, as his only other offers were from Duke, Buffalo, Florida International, Western Michigan, and South Alabama. However, since his commitment, Rogers is beginning to "heat up", and new offers might start rolling in from the big boys of college football ... especially if landing Deon could in any way influence Jeff Luc's decision.

He's so interested in us that we are on his Rivals list twice.

 

[Meyer]

I take it he's looking around?

Rivals $ - Rogers intrigued by Ohio State offer

7/13

By Noon...says he was really excited about being offered by OSU as an ATH...says he will likely visit OSU and says he and Jeff Luc will support each other no matter what school each chooses.

OLB/SS/Star?

OLB/SS/Star?

Definetly has the speed, and also very good height, so it would make sense.

 

[TresselstillownsTSUN]

Don't think this offer is a '2 for1' type of deal. This kid can play and would take him without Luc in a heartbeat. Although I wonder how long we will wait for him with more than a few S offers out there...

Definitely not, the kid is a stud. The timing of the offer and Luc's rising interest also has to be looked at as a major positive as well.

Agreed but if it helps us with Luc, that would be a bonus. Count me as one that doesn't see Luc leaving Florida regardless but I still love this offer.

 

[stxbuck]

The Luc situation is intriguing-he is sending out fewer public "hometwon" vibes than other top Florida kids, and he has walkwed the walk by coming up to tOSU and staying in contact.
In regards to Rogers, he comitted to Georgia, but A-that was his first big offer, and B-Georgia has a bunch of talented SS/OLB types in their class-he might become convinced he is the odd man out there, possibly.

Deon says he is still committed to Georgia and liked his UGA experience better than Columbus.

When did he visit?

When did he visit?

Camp...

 

[TresselstillownsTSUN]

He doesn't close the door on goin' someplace else, but sounds solid to Georgia. The key is if we can get him to visit the USC game with Luc...

 

[brodybuck21]

Camp...

Thanks....Well I hope he makes it up for a visit during the season as that may just change his mind. Like SayNoToMichigan said hopefully he makes it up for the usc game....
