Washington quarterback Will Rogers entered the NCAA Transfer Portal Friday, according to On3 reporter Pete Nakos.
Rogers’ decision to enter the portal comes on the same day former Huskies head coach Kalen DeBoer was officially announced as the successor to Nick Saban as the next head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The veteran quarterback spent his first four seasons with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, where he set several SEC passing records. Rogers holds the conference record for most passing attempts and completions. He’s also second all-time in the SEC in passing yards with 12,315.
He originally entered the transfer portal on Nov. 24 and committed to Washington on Dec. 15.

Rogers played in eight games in the 2023 season. He threw for 1,612 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions on a 60% completion percentage. Despite the down year statistically, Rogers had consecutive seasons with the Bulldogs where he threw more than 30 touchdown passes.
Rogers joins starting cornerbacks Jabbar Muhammed, Mishael Powell and backup quarterback William Haskell as the latest Huskies to enter the portal following the departure of DeBoer.
