During his time at Nebraska, Rogers appeared in 19 games, making 42 tackles and collecting 1.5 sacks. He spent four seasons in Lincoln and entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of spring ball.
Rogers missed the first 5 games of the 2021 season because of an injury sustained in preseason camp. He played in the final 7 contests for the Huskers, making 17 tackles with 3.5 for loss.
Nebraska concluded the 2021 season with a 3-9 record.
Oregon is entering a new era after Mario Cristobal left the program to take over at Miami. Dan Lanning is the new head coach of the Ducks.
