Now it’s time for me to open a new chapter and with that being said, I want to thank Auburn University’s staff for me this opportunity. PS #5 #WDE #WarEagle #auburnnation #auburnfootball ???? #DetroitvsEverybody #Detroit pic.twitter.com/lIWJuVcWwr

Rogers heads to Auburn after 3 seasons with the Wildcats. He played in 33 games for Mark Stoops’ troops, recording 60 tackles and 3 sacks at UK.
The 6-3, 332-pound Rogers is coming off his most productive season in terms of tackles. In 13 games (12 starts), Rogers logged career-highs of 35 total tackles, including 9 solo stops during UK’s 2022 campaign. The 2021 season was Rogers’ best in terms of tackles for loss (2.5) and sacks (1.5).
Hugh Freeze’s staff has momentum on the recruiting trail, particularly in the transfer portal. Rogers is addition No. 12 for the Tigers from the portal.
He had a decent year this past season. I think he was going to take the next step in 2023. A different scheme may play more to his strengths. Good get for Auburn. Hope he does well there….
Congrats, Auburn. We’ve been doing a decent job of developing DTs lately and I hate to see him go.
I’m still in shock that we see good news about players coming to Auburn from the portal. Congrats to Coach Freeze and his staff. I could barely bring myself to watch Auburn games last year. Now I have a count down clock to get a glipse of A-Day!
I’m happy to see the concentration on ol and dl.

Sounds like you would know
Freeze pays better NIL money I guess
I’m sure he does, and who can blame him? Hate the player, not the game. It’s not Auburn’s fault that Mitch Barnfart dragged his feet after NIL was instituted.
