The Washington Huskies could be one step closer to addressing their quarterback position for the 2024 season. This time they will look to the SEC and the transfer portal to address the future need for a signal-caller.
According to 247Sports insider Chris Hummer, Rogers is likely to land with the Washington Huskies for the 2024 season. The former Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback is the No. 2 all-time leading passer in SEC history with 12,315 yards and No. 4 in touchdown passes with 94.
He will now likely head to Seattle, where he will replace a former Indiana transfer, Michael Penix Jr who is out of college eligibility after the season. The Huskies are preparing to take on the Texas Longhorns in the CFP Semifinal game in the Sugar Bowl.

Rogers is among the active leaders in career passing yards, trailing only Sam Hartman (Notre Dame), Bo Nix (Oregon), Dillon Gabriel (Oklahoma), Penix Jr. (Washington), and Jayden Daniels (LSU). Following the season, he will only trail Gabriel, who also entered the transfer portal.
The addition of Rogers is quite an addition for a Washington team led by head coach Kalen DeBoer, who has been one of the hottest head coaches in college football since he arrived in the Pacific Northwest.
