Florida freshman Jahari Rogers, former top 10 cornerback prospect, enters NCAA transfer portal
Big news out of Gainesville as Florida redshirt freshman
Rogers, a native of Arlington, Texas, has played just one season for the Gators after being ranked as the No. 8 cornerback prospect in the country and a top 100 overall recruit in the 2020 recruiting cycle.
News of Rogers’ decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal was first reported by Matt Zenitz of AL.com. As always, it’s important to note that a player can enter the transfer portal and remain at their current school. Entering the portal simply allows players to communicate with other programs regarding potential transfers.
During his freshman season at Florida, Rogers appeared in three games (Missouri, Alabama and Oklahoma) and registered two tackles for the Gators. He came to Gainesville after being selected to participate in the 2020 Under Armour All-American Game.
Rogers’ bio on the official Florida team site:
Committed to play in the Under Armour All-America Game… Also selected for the 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame World Bowl… Named the District 4-6A MVP as a junior in 2018, as he played quarterback and threw for 2,670 yards and 31 touchdowns, and rushing for 819 yards and 15 touchdowns… Transitioned to the secondary as a senior in 2019 to focus on the position he would be playing collegiately… Helped Arlington reach the 2019 UIL Conference 6A Division II Regional Finals… Led Arlington to the 2018 UIL Conference 6A Division II Area Finals.
So we should get at least one Georgia trolling comment here about how this means the Florida program is doomed, dysfunctional and just downright awful, while when the same thing happens at Georgia it’s because of inability to earn playing time.
SDS thus far has missed the biggest Gator story of the last two weeks, which is that Corey Bell has been added to the Florida recruiting operation as an assistant director of player personnel. Bell has deep connections in South Florida.
Well said sir!
Yeah, it’s not like Sideshow Dan the Clown opened his big fat mouth and thus invited us all to dump on him and you ‘turds every time y’all have a transfer.
No, of course not. Not Cousin Eddie. Why he NEVER opens his big fat mouth without carefully considering what he’s about to say and how it could come back on him almost immediately.
LOL!
Don’t say you didn’t ask for it.
Sideshow Dan certainly was and is and does.
Corch, are you really so stupid that you don’t understand the hypocrisy and inconsistency of trolling another program about transfers out when Georgia has had more 2021 transfers out than Florida?
Is it something Kirby said?
Nash-I think he is trolling because Dan Mullen took a shot at UGA a few years ago when we had a few players transfer. He said it’s a poor job recruiting if the players transfer out so quickly, insinuated that Kirby was lying to these players.
Literally posted the entire quote down below, you Floriduh ‘turd.
Can’t you read?
Oh, I know about the “blind squirrel” and “poor job” comments. And Spurrier’s “they sign all the best players, but” comment. But I’m pretty sure Corch, Negan and TDOW would still find a way to troll, comments or no comments.
The number doesn’t matter. Cousin Eddie made it clear that ANY player transferring means they were lied to in recruiting.
Thus, every time this happens I am more than happy to remind all you ‘turds of why your clown coach thinks players transfer and how that also applies to his clown program.
Yes, Mullen sometimes says things he shouldn’t. Spurrier often said things he shouldn’t. But those are just words.
The actual fact, on the other hand, is that more Georgia players have transferred out in 2021 or are currently seeking to transfer out than Florida players.
The difference is my coach has never said anything so ridiculous about transfers, so when players transfer from Georgia, it’s for a variety of reasons.
Sideshow Dan the Clown made it known that when players transfer, including when they transfer from Floriduh, they do so because they were lied to during recruiting and sold a dream that wasn’t true.
That’s what he believes,
so that’s why. So our 10 players in the portal? I’m sure there’s a variety of reasons why they’re there.
YOUR six players in the transfer portal? They were lied to and sold dreams that weren’t true by Cousin Eddie and his staff.
Which program – UGA or UF
had their #1 recruit TRANSFER OUT during his 1st semester because
the HC didn’t take said recruit’s complaints about sexual assaults in the athletic dorm seriously????????????
TDow…Fields was clearly lied to by Smart in the recruiting process. He was and is much better than Fromm, but he was not going to get a fair chance to beat Fromm out under Smart. And he left and immediately became a star at Ohio State. Rogers was given a clear opportunity to win a job at CB for UF, but he obviously got buried on the deep CB depth chart behind Elam, Hill, Helm, Marshall, Pouncey, Wilcoxson & Young.
Nature, Nash turds et al:
Against Florida in his career, Jake Fromm was 41 of 61 (67.2%) for 620 yards, 6 touchdowns, and only 1 interception. In Jacksonville, Fromm averaged a gaudy 10.16 yards per attempt and the combined scores of the contests ended up Georgia 102 – Florida 41
Once again you are distracting and changing the subject. How well Fromm performed against Florida has nothing whatsoever to do with whether Kirby mishandled his quarterbacks.
And we should get at least 30 Florida fans talking about DAN MULLEN IS TRIMMING THE FAT. AND THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR FLORIDA!!!!!
Negan
@NashvilleGator……….I only remember 1 2021 transfer that was going to play. The others are people that were beaten out. They know they weren’t going to play in 2021. Now I might be forgetting someone. But T Stevenson is the one that we could miss.
And I’m not saying the others are bad players. But they weren’t going to be in the rotation even as a backup! Meaning they would all probably be 3rd and even 4th string at best!!!
And don’t act like you believe Florida has arrived and can afford to lose top 10 players. They cannot afford to lose anyone!!! I don’t know if this guy will transfer or not. But apparently he saw something this spring that looked like THE SAME OLD DEFENSE MAYBE???? And not close to the same offense???
Besides you were the very first one here to say the words. THE FLORIDA PROGRAM IS DOOMED!!!!! And we are not in the LEAST BIT WORRIED ABOUT YOUR NEW RECRUITING GURU!!! If Florida was elite. You wouldn’t need someone with deep south Florida ties!!!!
Florida kids are staying away. Because they know and can see Florida is not elite, and it’s getting worse!!!! They don’t want to play in a rivalry where Mullen is going to run his mouth every season and yet be light years s behind UGA!!! That can get embarrassing!!!! Apparently they are smart enough to know that Mullen can’t balance on the transfer portal forever!!!!!
PS. What happens when transfers turn out to be duds??? Another 42-7 game like 2017. Florida can’t afford to take a single hit!!!!
Negan
Well, all I have to say about that is !!!!!!!!!!!
Nashville, didn’t Mullen have a smart comment a year or so ago about UGA and transfers?
Mullen said “he’d consider the Gators to be doing a bad job if they were lying to recruits and watching as guys transfer after only a year.”
I won’t say anything more. I’ll let Mullen’s words speak for his own program.
Actually, Corch was kind enough to recite the quote below.
@Nature Gator…….. Kirby Smart didn’t lie to Justin Fields. In fact Justin Fields wanted to return to UGA right after he got to Ohio State!!! His father told him to stay at Ohio State. But he wanted to come back!!!
Also Ohio State runs a high school offense just like Mullen usually runs!!! It was better for Fields skill set. Had Fields played at UGA with no familiar wide receivers like Jake Fromm did. He wouldn’t have been as good as Fromm was that early!!!!!
When it’s a close battle. You don’t bench the guy who took you to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and should have been the winner. Because UGA was ROBBED. But either way. As a TRUE FRESHMAN, JAKE LIT ALABAMA UP!!!!
Go rewatch the ROSE BOWL even. After UGA spotted OU a big lead. Your average True Freshman QB would have been overwhelmed!!!! Especially after things just kept going wrong. After that Sony Michelle fumble late in the 4th. There was all kinds of pressure on Jake and he had to throw on the run. He had to get the team out of bad plays and into good ones!!! Sorry but if it had been Fields. We lose that game sure as the world is round!!!!
Fields would have run at the first sign of Trouble. And I’m sure that he would have made a few plays with his feet. But overall we lose with Fields!!! Jake was like a seasoned NFL QB in his TRUE FRESHMEN SEASON!!!
Don’t take this the wrong way but if Jacob Eason never gets hurt. I don’t believe UGA would have made it to the national championship game in year 2!!!! The entire program would have been set back!!! Appalachian state was stopping Eason. I’m not even sure we win that game with Eason. Maybe we do. But we were 100 Xs better under Jake Fromm. That is no knock against Eason. He is also a great QB!!! But Jake Fromm was a team player!!!
PS. Chemistry always means more than just talent!!!!! Jake had both talent and chemistry!!! JT Daniels is very similar. Only more talented. Carson Beck is the same. And I believe that Vandagriff is going to be super!!!
Negan
Did y’all see your pass defense last season? You can’t afford to lose anyone. Especially not top 10 DBs!!! I happen to know Kirby and staff could easily mold that guy into a top player. Just like we did Baker, Stokes, DJ Daniel and a ton of others that were not 5 stars!!!!
Nobody else in the country has the coaching staff UGA has for DEFENSE. And they specialize in dbs!!! All 3 of the better dbs need to be at UGA!!! Derion Kendrick, Rogers and Tykee Smith. We would turn every single one into an NFL DRAFT PICK!!!!
PS. But that’s up to them.
Negan
“I’d think we did a poor job recruiting if guys were coming in and then immediately walking out the door because it was something different than what they thought it would be and we lied to them during recruiting, or we sold them on a dream that wasn’t true.”
— Sideshow Dan the Clown
Like good Scotch whiskey, that one is aging well!!!!
Corch I think you are selling Mullen short. He’s not a sideshow anymore. He’s a first rate clown now and he works the center now!!! The spotlight is on him. As much as these Florida fans pretend to love Mullen. You know just like I do. They want to turn against him soooooo bad they can taste it. But since they promoted him so strong. Now they are embarrassed to say. WE WERE RIGHT!!!!
PS. Therefore they turn against the greatest defensive coordinator in college football. Grantham!!!!
Negan
Dang this kid had a lot of potential to bad he left, y is every one leaving it seems like.
Mullen.
i think the Portal itself is the issue. Players think they know more than the coaches and get the feelings hurt when something goes differently than they think it should. College Basketball for example has over 1000 entries. its the new way now unfortunately. unintended consequences of a stupid decision. it stymies the transition from kid to adult
The transfer portal is the college football version of instant gratification. But all things considered, it’s probably not a bad thing.
Some perspective.
Note: These outbound transfer portal numbers are not final because they include some kids who are in the portal but may still choose to stay at their current school:
27 — Tennessee
13 — FSU
12 — Texas A&M
12 — LSU
10 — Georgia
10 — Auburn
10 — South Carolina
8 — Florida
6 — Alabama
6 — Clemson
The premptive, defensive, inferiority-complex-driven posts by turds regarding UGA fans and UF’s record with transfers says it all!!!
I hope mullet retires from UF, in about 25-30 years.
And yet here you are, behaving like a child as usual.
The shoe fits huh?
ps – I really do hope you all keep mullet as the HC for years to come – seriously
When a UF player transfers out of the program, does mrs mullet slobber on the player one last time?
It’s 11:20AM, ET
cojoneslicker will roll out bed in a couple hours and commence with his babbling about moe-rons
Simply adding more trolling insults does not change the facts:
1. Georgia has more players who have transferred out or are in the outbound transfer portal in 2021 than Florida. I’m sure every player’s reasons are different.
2. No outbound transfer from Florida, for any reason, as an organizational failure, comes even remotely close to Justin Fields transferring out.
3. Georgia lost to Florida last year and there’s a decent chance they could lose again this year. You’re getting into Monty Python Black Knight territory again when you demean a program you lost to.
4. Georgia hasn’t won a national championship in 41 years. Florida has three in that same time period. While it’s nice that you got close in 2017, this isn’t horseshoes.
“2. No outbound transfer from Florida, for any reason, as an organizational failure, comes even remotely close to Justin Fields transferring out.”
Justin Fields transferred out because he couldn’t beat out Jake Fromm.
——————————-
“One of the top 2019 college football prospects is looking to transfer before most of his classmates have even enrolled.
Chris Steele, a five-star defensive back, signed with Florida and enrolled at the university in January, allowing him to participate in spring practice with the Gators. Four months later, he has put his name into the NCAA transfer portal, according to multiple reports.
It’s a big blow for the Gators. Steele, ranked the 19th-best prospect in the 2019 class, was the highest-ranked player brought in by Dan Mullen’s staff. And his apparent reason for exploring a transfer doesn’t paint Florida in a positive light.
According to multiple outlets, Steele made the decision to put his name in the portal because of circumstances surrounding another UF early enrollee, quarterback Jalon Jones. Steele was reportedly “uncomfortable” sharing a room with Jones and requested to be moved to another dorm. However, the UF football staff did not plan to move Steele until the summer, according to the Gainesville Sun.
From the Sun:
The staff did not plan to move Steele until the summer, which upset Steele and his parents, according to the source. Then two female students accused Jones of sexual assault in the players’ dorm rooms on April 6. That prompted Steele to seek a transfer.
Steele’s request was made before Jones was accused of sexual battery by two female UF students on April 6. Jones was not charged with a crime but has since requested a transfer and left Gainesville. Steele was named in the police report as a witness but not accused of any wrongdoing.
The school has not commented on Steele’s status with the program.”

No one knows the full story about Justin Fields transferring out except him and his family, but there’s a huge difference between “couldn’t beat out Jake Fromm” and couldn’t overcome Kirby Smart’s favoritism for Jake Fromm. The same goes for Jacob Eason, who was the starter coming out of summer in 2017 and the second case where Kirby went with comfort and security instead of potential difference maker talent.
As for Steele, there’s an old saying in sales about prospects giving two reasons for not moving forward; the one that sounds good and if you keep probing, the real one. If the roommate issue was real — and I have no reason to think it wasn’t initially at least part of it, then that’s a problem and I’m sure that organization learned from it. But it’s just as likely that a big chunk of the reason was the guy being homesick and 2,400 miles from home.
I am not a big believer in conspiracy theory but the big three trolls from UGA can not be real people. They have to be hired by SDS to produce clicks and monger boards to get responses so it would seem that articles are trending. They even do it on their own boards. I cannot believe that three people would have this much time on their hands unless they are getting paid to do it. Either way, it is a sad existence. It is also a bad representation of UGA fans IMO.
Every school has a trash fan who comes on here for the sole purpose of trolling. I hear the same garbage at my bar. It’s a shame but I think they are for real.
You own a bar? Can we be friends? lol
Yes on both accounts. I just wish I had seen your posts before I opened. Trunksnorter would have been a perfect name.
LOL…well feel free to change the bar name, I was to dmmmm lazy to trademark TrunksnorterU…it’s all yours, cheers!
It is also a bad representation of ….
Lol, it’s not like we are starting riots during games, starting COVID outbreaks, dressing up like a Star Wars character for a post game presser …
Funny…no names were mentioned. I guess the old adage of the quilty dog barking is accurate. I read the posts for both a small amount of info and to enjoy the troll posts. The exception being Negan since the words brief, accurate & funny seem to lacking in his vocabulary. Some trolls are funny and some will even talk intelligently about football. I was just stating that the trolls on this site is real.
SDS articles about UF and mullet just beg to be trolled, they are the essence of a cluster f*ck
Oh, they’re real. If you tried to write code to produce Negan’s posts, any computer running it would overclock and explode.
Corch and TDOW are just unimaginative variations on “Oh yeah?”
Leghumper is sometimes funny when his sentences are intelligible.
Man I would love to meet you one day coarch. And bob. Y’all need an a$$whoopin for sure
Dang here I am 5 days late to the party.
DumbsOfWar proves to be wrong yet again, not surprising. While I would have liked to comment in real time I’ve been busy with work and family time to post as often as I have in the past.
Nash killed it with his opening prediction and his response to the Georgia Morons.
These trolls are real people, real stupid people, you just can’t make this sheet up. Again Nash with the Negan algorithm killed it.
Wouldn’t mind joining Leghumper at darthA’s Trunksnorter bar for a few.
Finally, SEC123 don’t forget DumbsOfWar, he deserves the a$$whooping as much as the other 2 Morons
