Will Rogers. 521. . . Will Rogers. 5. Big Ten QB rankings. . . player

It was a question whether or not Will Rogers would stick around after Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. After entering the portal and choosing to stick with the Huskies, Rogers will be the guy in a brand new Washington team.

Rogers does not have the arm strength that Michael Penix Jr. had, even coming from a Mike Leach air-raid offense. However, with Jedd Fisch now the coach at Washington, that may not even be a problem. The Huskies lost a lot of talent after the 2023 season to the NFL, but Fisch had been diligent in the portal and Rogers is only a few seasons removed from throwing for 4,697 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2021.
