POSITIVES

— Sturdy and strong at the point of attack with good arm length and heavy hands.

— Stiff, jolting punch with good lower-half mobility and play strength to stymie the bull-rush.

— Excels covering up, pinning and securing rush lanes on angle-drive, kick-out and base blocks.

— Consistently covers up and feeds defensive tackles over on combo/double-team blocks.

— Shows solid lateral quickness to cut-off the backside of wide zone and redirect to stay in the fight against inside counters in pass protection.


NEGATIVES

— Base will get caught wide when being set up by stutters/hesitations that leave his feet stuck and late to expand his set points.

— Has a habit of striking down the middle of rushers with his outside hand that compound with mediocre range at tackle to create short corners.

— Likely a full-time guard in the NFL with minimal experience (three starts) there and subsequent refinement needed inside.


NOTES

— 3-star recruit from the 2020 class, per 247Sports

— 55 career starts at left tackle (16), left guard (two), right guard (one) and right tackle (36)

OVERALL

Caleb Rogers is a five-year starter primarily at right tackle with at least one start at four of the five positions on the line, including 13 starts in 2024 (10 at RT, one at RG & two at LG) inside Texas Tech's fast-paced, 53-47 pass-run split, zone-based offense with gap principles mixed in. Rogers has a thick, sturdy build with good arm length, play strength and solid athletic ability.

Rogers is a sturdy, effective run-blocker with enough quickness to hit landmarks in the zone run game, cut-off the backside and connect on backers when climbing with the size and grip strength to overrun and steer second-level targets once latched. Rogers is best on angle-drive, base and kick-out blocks where he uses his size, length and heavy, strong hands to clench and widen/secure his target to solidify rush lanes. He looks to finish with good physicality and effort but will get slipped late in the rep due to his pads rising and/or being late to refit which leaves him out-leveraged.

In pass protection, Rogers has a firm, commanding anchor with a stiff punch to stymie the bull-rush with an active, effective catch hand and enough lateral quickness to stay attached against inside counters. He creates a short corner at tackle due to mediocre range and ability to expand his set points that likely will require a move full-time to guard as a pro with tackle ability in a pinch.

Overall, Rogers is an experienced tackle/guard prospect with proven versatility, good play strength and anchoring ability that suggest he can carve out a backup role at either spot early in his pro career with a skill-set best suited to earn starting time inside.
