'10 FL LB Deon Rogers (Georgia Verbal)

[mbama1]

Got a chance to watch Deon, Jeff Luc, and the rest of the Titans play last night, and I have to say that I was not that impressed with Deon or Jeff.

Deon is definitely a great athlete, but he's very skinny right now. Rail thin would be an accurate statement. He did flash his speed a couple of times by chasing down some RB's from behind, but he was pretty much non-existent and his name was not called very often.

Jeff Luc is an absolutely AMAZING looking physical specimen, looks like an NFL player on a high school field. His listed height/weight of 6'1, 240 is probably right on the money. He is jacked and ripped beyond ripped. However, he probably did even less than Deon.

The kid from Treasure Coast that impressed me the most was their QB and WR. The QB is only a sophomore and he's probably only 5'10/5'11, but he's lighting quick, very good speed, and he's got a very strong arm- can make all of the throws. In fact, he probably throws the ball too hard right now and he overthrew quite a few passes. If QB doesn't work out for him he's definitely a good enough athlete to play WR or CB.

The best player on the field last night though was the WR, #4. The kid was really just unbelievable. He's a tall kid too, looked to be 6'1/6'2, he had some nice size to him. Treasure Coast was only up 6-3 for most of the game until that kid went off late in the 2nd half and got Treasure Coast 2 TD's to pull ahead 20-3. He showed off his speed and quickness by taking a short little screen 81 yards to the house for a TD. It was an incredible play, don't know if I can do it justice trying to describe it.

His 2nd TD catch was about 25-30 yards, but it was just as impressive if not more impressive than his 1st TD catch. The ball was poorly thrown on a fade route and the kid was double covered, had a CB behind him and a safety in front of him, he timed his jump perfectly, went up and snatched the ball at the highest point with his hands, and he sandwiched as the CB hit him from behind and the safety absolutely destroyed him with a monstrous hit, but the kid still held onto the ball for the score.

I mean it was a nasty hit, a kill shot, but the kid showed incredible toughness and willingness to take a hit. The hit was pretty bad, and the kid tried to get up but fell right back down to the ground and had to be helped off the field. Luckily it wasn't anything too serious, as he was back in the game a couple of series later.

If that WR doesn't have a boatload of offers I'd be shocked.

Rogers, Luc among all-star prospects visiting UGA
November 9, 2009, by Chip Towers

Georgia commitment Deon Rogers will be among an all-star cast of prospects making official visits with the Bulldogs this coming weekend and he confirmed that his five-star teammate is coming with him.

Jeff Luc, a 6-foot-1, 240-pound linebacker at Treasure Coast High in Port St. Lucie, Fla., will be traveling to Athens with Rogers. Luc (pronouced Luck) is rated as a five-star prospect and the No. 1 middle linebacker in America by Scout.com. He is being pursued by virtually every premier program in the country, including the three major programs in his home state. Long considered a lock for the Florida Gators, he has visited Tennessee and Southern Cal and plans to take an official trip to LSU before making a final decision. He will be an early enrollee in college.

Rogers is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound, three-star linebacker who committed to Georgia back in June. He is doing what he can to get Luc to follow him.

?Of course I want him to go to college with me,? Rogers said Sunday evening. ?We?ve talked about it and that?d be great. But I?m going to support him no matter what he decides to do. If he likes Georgia and it feels like home there, that?s where he?ll go. If not that?s fine, too.?

Luc did not return messages Sunday but told me last month that his interest in playing for the Bulldogs was genuine.

Meanwhile, Georgia probably feels like it has some work left to do with Rogers. The three-star prospect visited Ohio State the weekend of Oct. 24 and reportedly wants to make a trip to LSU. But Rogers insists he is still a Bulldog.

?Nothing has changed,? he said. ?I?m still committed. I just wanted to take a couple of trips and see some different places.?
