Cal lands North Texas QB transfer Chandler Rogers

[cousin oliver]

North Texas quarterback transfer Chandler Rogers is head to Cal, he tells 247Sports. Rogers is a graduate transfer with one remaining year of eligibility.

Rogers was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the FBS this season. He passed for 3,382 yards and 29 touchdowns against five interceptions while completing 62.2% of his passes. Rogers finished in the top 10 nationally in passing touchdowns and the top 20 in passing yards.

The 6-foot, 195-pound Texas native came to North Texas during the offseason from ULM, where he spent the 2022 campaign as the starter. Rogers finished that year with 2,403 yards and 15 touchdowns while completing 67.7% of his passes.

Rogers told 247Sports last week that he'd heard from from Cal, Arizona State, Syracuse, Illinois, Indiana, TCU, South Carolina, Washington, Washington State, Houston, East Carolina, Tulane and Troy, among others, in his transfer process.

I knew Rogers was skinny, but 6-foot 195 is INSANE. If he goes to the NFL, you’d have to imagine teams want him to switch to WR

"It’s a roller coaster honestly, you have your highs and lows," Rogers said. At the same time when you get to the destination that I would like to get, which is the NFL, it’ll all be worth it. A lot growing pains throughout the process. You get to see the business side of college football, a lot of people don’t realize the situation you’re going through until you get there because they show and tell you what you want to hear. When you’re actually there is when you begin to realize the situation you’re in.”

I'll sum it up. Tampering started and I was offered $$$.

Just wondering how long it will take some of you to move on from CR? Will we have to see every online story reposted? He, by his choice, is no longer here. The occasional update is ok, but please we do not need to follow his day-to-day life on the Mean Green Football forum.

For some reason it is what we do here. A lot of people on here have an ex-girlfriend complex. You should see how often TP is mentioned on the basketball forum. 

I admit, I randomly check on ex players just to see, but it isn't worth a post.

I read it differently, like maybe he was given the perception that he would be the day 1 starter and then Stone Earle got in the way.

Yea....I thought he transferred here under the assumption he was the "1" Starter. This is the result of "Growing pains" for Morris. Add the NIL and "The Portal" it was going to be a mess anyway.

I don’t know anymore. With the way QB’s are dropping in the NFL this year, size may not matter at all.

Would we have any interest in Sam Jackson V, QB from Cal? He's in the portal.

He may have to sit out

People still brought up Todd Dodge and what he was up to for years…Chandler Rogers actually won half his games, so I’d expect we’ll hear about him until roughly 2035

Tylor Perry has a diploma from the University of North Texas, just like you.(?)  He's one of us...  Let alone being the hero of one of the 2 high points of UNT Basketball history.
Pretty sure Rogers will as well if he's expecting to play next season.   But I highly doubt Rogers gets a lot of thought around here after the new year.  He succeeded here individually, which was great for him, but his team was not a success, so he likely won't be remembered for much.

I have more of an affinity for Riley Dodge than Chandler Rogers.   Both transferred out.
