Which SEC Team Will Land Lamont Rogers

By Jay Berry

The competitive recruitment process for four-star offensive lineman Lamont Rogers is almost over.

Rogers recently visited Florida State but is now deciding between Oklahoma , Texas A&M , Texas , and Missouri . The four-star offensive tackle from Mesquite, Texas, who stands at 6'6" and weighs 305 lbs, had official visits with SMU and Missouri in May and Texas, Florida State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma in June.

A few weeks ago, Oklahoma had some work to do to become the choice, but they have made a strong late push and focused their efforts on recruiting him. The Sooners have impressed Rogers with their NFL track record, legendary O-line coach Bill Bedenbaugh , and competitive approach to NIL opportunities, which allow college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness.

The recruitment process for Rogers is quite intense. Texas A&M has been very active in their pursuit. Although they have a new coaching staff, they could easily factor into the decision which still appears to be anybody's battle.

The critical relationships involved in this recruitment include Offensive Line Coach Adam Cushing , who left Duke after Mike Elko took the head coaching job at Texas A&M Brandon Jones , the Offensive Line Coach at Missouri, and Bill Bedenbaugh, the legendary Offensive Line Coach at Oklahoma.

Another name in the mix is Kyle Flood , the O-Line coach at Texas. He has NFL experience and a track record of producing monsters in the trenches.

The upcoming decision by Lamont Rogers could significantly alter the landscape and recruiting trajectory for the teams involved. Missouri is a strong contender, having made a strong impression on Rogers during his official visit, as he connected well with Brandon Jones.

Rogers and his family have a favorable view of the Sooners program, making Oklahoma a strong possibility. Oklahoma and Missouri have the best chance, with Texas A&M also in contention. However, Texas remains a wild card, making a late push and adding an element of unpredictability to the situation. He recently posted on X about Texas, saying "Staying close to home don't sound to bad."

Rogers is expected to announce his decision on Sunday, July 6th.
