toddc 13,197 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 BREAKING: Top transfer DT Justin Rogers commits to Auburn 5 minutes ago One of the top defensive tackles in the transfer portal, Justin Rogers, is headed to the Plains. LSU and Alabama were also involved in Rogers' transfer recruitment, but the former Kentucky Wildcat will spend his final two years of eligibility at Auburn. Rogers visited Auburn on Saturday and Sunday this past weekend. He saw all he needed to see during his Auburn visit. "The environment and the coaching staff," Rogers said on choosing Auburn. "It’s a small college town and that’s one thing I want — I want a real life college town, no city. This is all college." Rogers quickly built up a relationship with Auburn defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett, who is establishing himself quickly as one of Auburn's top recruiters. "That’s my guy," Rogers said. "Funny guy. I feel like he can coach me in the SEC West. That’s what I’m looking for, a great coach that can push me to get to the next level." Listed by Kentucky as 6-foot-3, 332 pounds, Rogers said after his visit that Auburn is recruiting him as a 2i and mostly inside guy. Arriving at Kentucky as an offensive lineman and making the move over to the defensive line, Rogers appeared in five games in 2020 and eight games in 2021. In the 2022 season Rogers played in 13 games and finished the year with 35 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and half a sack. He has 61 career tackles, five tackles for loss and three sacks. "Oh yeah definitely, I want to be that person they can depend on and get into ballgames and say ‘Oh we need Justin out there, let’s get him out there,'" Rogers said. 4COMMENTS In the Class of 2020, Rogers was the No. 52 overall player and is originally from Oak Park, Michigan. Rogers marks addition No. 11 for Auburn in the transfer portal, as the Tigers continue to climb to the top of the 247Sports transfer portal team rankings. On the defensive line, Rogers is addition No. 4, joining Lawrence Johnson and Mosiah Nasili-Kite on the inside, with former Vanderbilt edge Elijah McAllister added as an outside rusher. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,939 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 HELL YES! Not going to lie, I was a nega-barner initially. Usually when I hear "everyone thinks we are going to get this guy" it sends immediate red flags. Happy the good guys got him! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alabastertiger 637 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 This is truly unbelievable what this coaching staff has done. I'll admit I was skeptical. I rotated between Kiffen, and Sanders. Freeze was 4th on my list. I was WRONG. This dude and his staff can flat bring it. I can't wait to see what they can do with a whole year to recruit in. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
