Countdown UNC's 10 Best Players: #8 Jessie Rogers

Posted Jul 30, 2015
Jessie Rogers was Carolina’s top pass rusher as a junior, registering a team high 5.5 sacks. Rogers’ versatility was important in 2014 as he spent time at both defensive tackle and end. He proved to be one of UNC’s most dependable performers playing in all 13 games. Although the Heels had their struggles on defense last season, Rogers had his moments and more of them will be needed in 2015. (Keeping It Heel)
