Ex-Mississippi State QB Will Rogers Transfers to Washington

Rogers, No. 2 in SEC history in passing yards, to replace Heisman Trophy finalist Michael Penix at Washington.

Former Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers, who ranks No. 2 in SEC history in passing yards, has committed to transfer to Washington.
Rogers will replace Heisman Trophy finalist Michael Penix, who led the Huskies to an undefeated season, the Pac-12 title and a bid in the College Football Playoff.
Rogers was attracted to the system run by coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, as Washington led the nation with 343.8 passing yards per game in 2023.
Rogers' statistics dipped in 2023 due to a sudden coaching change at Mississippi State and a shoulder injury that limited him to eight games.
Rogers' transfer comes as Washington prepares for its first season in the Big Ten.
