Ohio State receiver, Noah Rogers enters transfer portal after just one year

Noah Rogers may be heading home.

If there is one position that Ohio State has depth it’s in the wide receiver room. The Buckeyes have been pulling in top-rated pass catchers for the past several years and everyone knows with that much talent in the room, there’s bound to be some who choose to move on.

Noah Rogers the No. 8 ranked receiver in the 2023 class has decided to leave Ohio State after just one season. Rogers made some waves in spring practice but didn’t get much of an opportunity for playing time in the fall. There isn’t much patience in today’s world of college football and with more five-star talent coming in behind him, Rogers thought it best for his game to find a new home.

In an interesting development, shortly after Rogers entered the portal, he already has a crystal ball prediction to land at North Carolina State in his hometown of Raleigh, NC. While there is no concrete evidence, this development lends itself to Carson Hinzman’s assertation in a since-deleted podcast that tampering is happening constantly and players are being contacted before even entering the portal.

It’s understandable for a young man to want to be closer to home and his recruitment did come down to Ohio State and NC State last year with the Buckeyes winning out. It now seems the Wolfpack may get their man after all.

Ohio State freshman receiver Noah Rogers sheds black stripe

Another top-rated receiver is officially welcomed to the Brotherhood. #GoBucks

Black stripe alert! The Ohio State football team officially welcomed another member to the Brotherhood on Saturday when freshman receiver Noah Rogers shed his black stripe.

Rogers was part of a ridiculous haul of talented wide receivers in the 2023 class for the Buckeyes. Of the top 10 receivers in the class, Ohio State snagged three of them. Rogers came in at No. 8 at the position and in the top 50 overall.

He proved his value after enrolling early and turning some heads at the annual Scarlet and Gray game. The young man pulled in three receptions for 64 yards; 57 of those yards came on a long pass for a spectacular touchdown catch.

Rogers comes to Columbus via North Carolina. He picked the Buckeyes over in state schools, UNC and North Carolina State, as well as Clemson and Florida State.

Brian Hartline continues to show why he’s the best in the business by bringing in talented class after talented class at the receiver position. The wideout room is loaded, so playing time will most likely be limited this season, however, the Bucks should be good to go for years to come.

Watch: Ohio State’s Tristan Gebbia finds Noah Rogers for a long touchdown

Another freshman WR with a score #GoBucks

There isn’t just one star in [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag]’s 2023 wide receiver recruiting class, there’s multiple. Carnell Tate already showed his ability and it was [autotag]Noah Rogers[/autotag] turn to show what he could do.

Although it was late in the game, the reps still mattered. Transfer quarterback [autotag]Tristan Gebbia[/autotag] found Rogers on a slant to his right, and the early enrolling freshman did the rest.

Rogers eluded multiple defenders and while he almost fumbled, he managed to find the end zone. The receiver was ranked just a little higher than Tate, as the eight-best player at his position and 53rd overall according to the 247Sports composite.

Check out his juggling touchdown below.

Ohio State: The top-10 ranked recruits in their class of 2023

The Buckeyes should remain competitive for the foreseeable future, having recruited 10 of the top 150 players in the 2023 cycle going by the composite rankings.

Ohio State may have lost the commitment of the top overall 2024 recruit, quarterback Dylan Raiola. However, the future is still bright for this program that just missed out on playing in the national championship game last season by a matter of inches.

Even after they lose starting quarterback C.J. Stroud in the upcoming 2023 NFL draft, the Buckeyes should remain competitive for the foreseeable future, having recruited 10 of the top 150 players in the 2023 cycle going by the composite rankings. Here’s who they are and where they rank compared to the rest of their class.

Top five true freshman wide receivers in the Big Ten for 2023 #GoBucks #B1G

It is always fun to look at recruiting rankings. The recruiting landscape receives more coverage every year and is a very important aspect of building a program. Still, it is important to remember these players and prospects are not defined by these rankings.

I was diving into the most recent class and trying to figure out which future Buckeye is going to shine brightest and fastest but noticed that the Big Ten as a whole was pretty interesting recruiting-wise this cycle, and we already dove into the top quarterbacks and top running backs of the class, but now we will take a look at the top wide receivers in the class of 2023.

The following are the top five wide receiver recruits ranked by 247Sports heading to Big Ten schools this fall.

Ranking Ohio State wide receivers by 247Sports composite recruiting rankings

Ranking Ohio State wide receivers by 247Sports composite recruiting ranking #GoBucks

The Ohio State football program has 13 wide receivers on scholarship and appears super deep. Still, as any Buckeye fan knows, this unit took a massive hit last season with the injury to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but the youngsters stepped up in a big way.

It was a bit shocking to see Xavier Johnson return, not that he was an early-round lock for the NFL, but he will undoubtedly get a shot at the next level. There is also a ton of excitement surrounding the stud freshman arriving on campus.

We rank the scholarship wide receivers on the roster based on their 247Sports recruiting rankings. You might be surprised by some of these …

Ohio State football class of 2023 scouting report: Noah Rogers

Ohio State football class of 2023 scouting report: Noah Rogers #GoBucks

The Ohio State football recruiting class of 2023 is complete and despite some murmurs of negativity in the crowd, this class is fantastic from top to bottom. One of the gems of the class is a four-star wide receiver from the state of North Carolina in Noah Rogers.

Rogers is widely viewed as a top 40 recruit in the class and a top ten receiver overall, but as we previously discussed with Brandon Inniss, it is going to be extremely tough for a wide receiver to crack the lineup in this deep two-deep early in their career, but Rogers has enough talent to be a meaningful contributor early.

Name: Noah Rogers

High School: Rolesville (Rolesville, NC)

Height: 6 feet, 2 inches

Weight: 195 pounds

Where each Ohio State signee landed on ESPN’s final 2023 recruiting rank update

What do you think about these rankings? #GoBucks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that certainly is the case with [autotag]ESPN[/autotag] and the 2023 [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] football recruiting class.

There are certain attributes that prospect evaluators like over others, and that is why you often see significant disparities between the major recruiting services. One might like a prospect much more than the other but it still gives you a good idea of how much potential the player has.

Now that the high school season is over and the all-star games have been played, ESPN made the final update to its class of 2023 rankings. Find out below where each Buckeye signee was ranked in the top 300 and a quick takeaway of the rankings.

247Sports gives a report on Ohio State WR Noah Rogers performance at Under Armor All-American Bowl

The Buckeyes signed another very good wide receiver #GoBucks

The [autotag]Under Armor All-American Bowl[/autotag] was played Tuesday, and there wasn’t as much scoring as you would expect from a high school all-star game. The teams combined for 21 points, with one of the touchdowns coming from a pick-six.

That meant that [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] signee [autotag]Noah Rogers[/autotag] didn’t get many opportunities to shine, but 247Sports was on hand for the whole week. With so many impressive players, not everyone gets time during the game but an impression can still be made during practice.

Rogers did exactly that. Andrew Ivins reported he “has some of the tools needed to eventually emerge as a go-to option for quarterbacks on Saturdays.”

He is part of another impressive wide receiver recruiting haul for head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and wide receiver coach [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag], which includes [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag], [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag] and [autotag]Bryson Rodgers[/autotag].

If the report is correct, we should see Rogers performing at a high level for the Buckeyes sooner rather than later even if he didn’t shine during the game.

Where each 2023 Ohio State football recruit landed on 247Sports updated rankings

It’s no surprise that this class is ranked as one of the best in the country. #GoBucks

When you assemble one of the top-rated recruiting classes in the country, you are bound to have plenty of players who are among the highest-rated in the nation. That is exactly the case for Ryan Day and his Ohio State Buckeyes football program.

The evidence is here, as 247Sports has updated their Top 247 recruits and it is littered with Buckeye commitments. In total there were twelve future OSU stars that made the list with room to add a few more before the early signing period and the traditional signing day in February. Find out below where each of those 12 verbal commits landed in the updated rankings.

(Note: This list has now been updated from 12 to 13 players with the verbal commitment from quarterback [autotag]Lincoln Kienholz[/autotag] on Wednesday, December 14th.)
