4-Star QB Prospect Justin Rogers Commits to TCU over LSU, UNC

Dual-threat quarterback Justin Rogers announced Wednesday he will suit up for the TCU Horned Frogs when the 2018 college football season begins.

Rogers made things official during an appearance on NBC 6, according to Scout.com's Bill Embody.

A 4-star signal-caller, Rogers is the 12th-ranked quarterback and 110th-ranked player overall among prospects in the class of 2018, according to Scout.com. Furthermore, he's the No. 6 quarterback in the South Region and No. 1 player among his positional peers in the state of Louisiana.

And when you turn on the tape, it's not hard to see why.

A 6'4", 198-pound athlete, Rogers is equal parts pocket playmaker and improviser. As a result, he can make big plays appear out of thin air with his legs or sit back in the pocket and sling the ball downfield effortlessly.

As Scout.com's official evaluation noted, he "combines great arm strength and velocity with dangerous running ability, especially when passing plays break down and become scrambles. Rogers can throw on the run or in the pocket and has a good feel for sensing pressure."

With the Horned Frogs, Rogers should put those tools to good use in a wide-open Gary Patterson offense that once allowed Trevone Boykin to thrive.

And while he may not see the field much as a freshman considering TCU has former 4-star recruit Shawn Robinson in the fold, Rogers should one day prosper once he cleans up his mechanics and polishes his footwork.

The good news is the pressure won't be on Rogers right away.

As a result, he can take his time and develop under coach Patterson's watchful eye as the Horned Frogs attempt to mold him into one of the nation's most dangerous quarterbacks.
