Due to a fall camp injury, Rogers missed the first 5 games of the 2021 season. He appeared in the final 7 games of a 3-9 season, though, tallying 17 tackles, including 3 for loss.
Over the course of his four seasons in Lincoln, Rogers was credited with 42 stops, 6 tackles for loss, 2 pass break-ups and 1.5 sacks. Most of that work came during the 2020 season, when he appeared in all 8 games and totaled 25 tackles, 3 for loss and a sack.
Rogers did not play in 2018, using that year as a redshirt season.
Rogers will have two years of eligibility to use at his next destination.
