After long thought and prayer, I have made a final decision. With the 2020 football season approaching, I would like to thank Coach Solich and Coach Albin for the opportunity and also announce that I will be transferring to Ohio University. Go Bobcats Armani Rogers" If this is indeed a done deal, welcome to Ohio and Athens, Armani! Looking forward to seeing you in green and white!

We definitely needed some additional depth at QB and having an experienced guy in the room has to help.

This one took a little longer than expected, but based on everything going on, it makes sense.

This would allow Rourke 2.0 to compete with Rogers. If neither is that impressive, Harris comes in with a year in the system with a chance to win the job as a true Freshman. This could change due to injuries or if Harris is so much better early in the camp.

Harris is going to be coming in as a grad transfer and probably wouldn't be coming here without ideas of playing time in his head. Definitely brings a dual threat aspect along with him, but struggled with accuracy and injuries. Still, he has talent. Was Mountain West Freshman of the Year in 2017. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/armani-roger... https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/unlv/unlv-football/u... / If he doesn't win the starting job, I imagine he could help in other ways offensively like Phil Bates did.

Injuries limited him to only ten games the past two seasons. Poor performance also seemed to be part of why he stayed on the bench after he healed up last season (393 passing yds; 2 TDs & 3 INTs in four games). Hope he has a bounce-back year. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

He's had 1.5 sacks and 12 tackles in 2 years. He was rated an 80 by 247Sports coming out of high school and had offers from Army, Bucknell, Holy Cross and Maine.

I made a similar comment in the recruiting thread about this. Talk about a potential culture shock - going from Las Vegas, Nevada to Athens, Ohio. Not to mention the fact that he’s also from Los Angeles. It kind of makes me wonder if he knows anything about Athens. I’m doubting he’s ever been there and with Covid, many transfers are unable to even visit their new schools. Don’t get me wrong, I love Athens for all that it is (or isn’t for that matter)- that’s exactly what I like about it. But it’s certainly not for everyone. I’ve been to UNLV, it’s a stone’s throw away from The Strip and planes landing into Vegas essential fly right over campus. He’s going from that to bricks clacking under car tires and crickets at night. Whether he likes it or not, he’s certainly in store for a major change of scenery, that’s for sure.

PERSONAL: Armani Lee Rogers was born in Buffalo, NY ... The son of Leslie and Sam Rogers ... Has three older brothers: Sam Jr., Tremaine and Aaron, one older sister, Ariel, and one younger brother Zane ... Father was a linebacker and played for the Colorado Buffaloes and then went on to the NFL and played for the Buffalo Bills (seven seasons), San Diego Chargers (one) and Atlanta Falcons (two) … Sam’s 10-year pro career included 30 sacks and nine fumble recoveries ... Armani’s brother Aaron played defensive back at Humboldt State … Majored in urban studies. Does Ohio have an Urban Studies major? I do know It's irrelevant since it seems like he is a grad transfer.

I majored in finance and took a bunch of geography classes aiming for a minor in that because they had an urban planning major and I was interested in real estate development. I’m guessing that is similar to urban studies but in the geography department rather than sociology? I've seen crazier things happen.

I’m guessing that is similar to urban studies but in the geography department rather than sociology? As far as I know,Urban Studies goes includes a number of areas including things like sociology,history,economics. Urban Planning,at least based on the classes I took,tends to be somewhat more "technical". New Jersey licenses Professional Planners. Some of PP's I work with got their degree in Urban Planning and Design at Rutgers. A lot took a different path of getting their B.S. in Engineering or Landscape Architecture then a Masters in Planning. Never met any planner who started with an Urban Studies degree. I have met a couple who work in public administration.

He needs s to learn the playbook, fine tune his accuracy and be a leader. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

He's a big dude and is fast and athletic. Ohio's surrounding cast is better than he has had at UNLV on the whole and the MAC competition may be easier on the whole than the MWC. Ohio has a ton of weapons returning, Rogers would benefit from that. Unless someone just kills it, I see at least two qbs getting significant reps in 2020 if the season is played. He might be able to deliver at least some production in a partial role. Accuracy is a really thorny issue. I dont recall QBs in general improving much over the course of a career. Rourke was an exception, spending three years in the same system and improved 6 percent from first to third year. Tettleton and Boo did not really improve in accuracy over two to three years as a starter. Rogers will be at least a little better at Ohio but with a career accuracy south of 50%, I'm concerned Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,336 Status: Offline     RE: Armani Rogers    Posted: 7/17/2020 9:39:13 PM  Rufusbobcat94 wrote: I'm glad they got him.

He healed up but his performance in those four games apparently kept him on the bench. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
