Chase Rogers took the long way “home” in coming to Ole Miss

Chase Rogers did not begin his college career at Ole Miss, but it is where he intends to finish it.

The tight end transferred to Oxford after playing his freshman season at Louisiana-Lafayette. During his one season with the Rajin’ Cajuns, Rogers earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors. He played three games during his sophomore before suffering a foot injury that ended his season.

It was then that Rogers, who redshirted during 2019 season after coming to Oxford, made the decision to transfer and come play for one of his home state’s top programs. The St. Staninslaus standout feels more comfortable back in Mississippi and used the word “home” to describe his feelings.
