Expectations are high for Will Rogers at Washington after he had a solid career at Mississippi State. Ahead of the season, Jedd Fisch explained what Rogers did to earn the starting QB job.

“I think Will from the very beginning showed a command, a maturity. He has a ton of experience. We felt that, with a team of inexperience, it’s a nice thing to have a lot of experience at that position,” said Fisch. “Will has certainly shown that he has great leadership abilities. He has certainly embraced learning this offense and then has continued to improve week in and week out, day in and day out.”

Rogers won this job after transferring in following a prolific four-year as quarterback at Mississippi State . In that time, he set program and conference records in single games, seasons, and in a career as a passer for the Bulldogs. With that, he in total posted 1,301 completions at a 69.3% rate for 12,315 yards, 94 touchdowns, and 28 interceptions.

After his senior season in Starkville, Rogers entered his name into the portal and transferred to Seattle in December. He did so as the No. 15 QB and No. 80 overall player in On3’s 2024 Transfer Portal Top Players .

Still, this pick wasn’t without competition with him having to compete against Demond Williams Jr. . The former recruit turned No. 19 QB transfer followed Fisch from Arizona to Washington this offseason . He too is now set to potentially play a role this season as well.

It was a healthy battle between Rogers and Williams Jr. with Fisch seeing that they’ve bonded during it.
