Rogers' commitment comes less than six months after he received an offer from the Buckeyes in January. 






The 6-foot-2, 180-pound, four-star wide receiver from North Carolina visited Ohio State on April 16 for the Buckeyes' spring game.  He fell in love with Brian Hartline's campus, football program and coaching philosophies on that visit, and got engaged just over two months later.  He chose the Buckeyes over schools in his home state of North Carolina and North Carolina State, as well as Florida State and Clemson, the other schools that were in his top five. 






Due to flight problems, Rogers was unable to attend his official Ohio State visit last weekend, but he felt good enough with the Buckeyes to feel comfortable pulling the trigger anyway.

Rogers is ranked the 50th-best player overall and the 9th-best wide receiver in the 2023 class, according to 247Sports Composite Ratings.  In 15 games for Rolesville High School (Rolesville, North Carolina), Rogers caught an astonishing 70 passes for 1,432 yards and 22 touchdown receptions, averaging 20.5 yards per reception.  He also had five carries for 15 yards and a rushing touchdown. 






Rogers becomes the 13th commitment in Ohio State's recruiting class of 2023 and the first from North Carolina.  Assuming he signs with the Buckeyes in December, he will become the fourth Tar Heel State player to sign with Ohio State in five draft cycles, joining running back Evan Pryor in 2021, defensive lineman Jacolbe Cowan in 2020 and defensive tackle Jaden Mckenzie.  in 2019.

Rogers chose Ohio State from 24 Division I bids, which also include Michigan, Texas A&M, Tennessee, South Carolina, Penn State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Kentucky, Florida and Auburn.
