  • Michigan Wolverine Recruiting: Davion Rogers 2010 Signed Profile

    Posted at 6:00am -- 2/26/2010

    GBMWolverine Message Board Readers:
    Here is a overview of University of Michigan recent signed commitment Davion Rogers.

    Height: 6’6
    Weight: 210 lbs.
    Position: Defensive End / Outside Linebacker
    High School: Warren G. Harding (Ohio)
    Head Coach: D.J. Dota
    Recruiter: Coach Bruce Tall
    Class: 2010 Michigan Wolverine Recruiting Class (Signed)

    Overview:

    Davion Rogers is a tall rangy defensive end/outside linebacker prospect. He was a good enough overall athlete to actually play some safety in high school. Davion moves his feet well for being a taller player.

    Strengths:


    Davion is a hustle player and makes a lot of plays in pursuit. He shows very good range and has a solid get off. Davion shows a nice little rip move that he uses to maintain outside leverage. He has good lateral movement skills and range. Davion is a solid tackler, but not overly physical.

    Needs work:


    Davion’s size and strength are definitely issues. He also tends to get too deep and turn his shoulders. Davion, like many tall players, plays high and needs to do a better job of squeezing plays.

    Davion reminds GBMWolverine of this former Michigan Wolverine:

    Pierre Woods.

    Red-shirt or play his freshman year:

    Very likely a red-shirt.

    Where do they rank him:


    ESPN: 3-Star .. #29 at position.
    Rivals: 3-Star .. #28 at position.
    Scout: 3-Star .. #102 at position.

    Final Thoughts:

    Davion has the height to play defensive end or outside linebacker, depending on what defense Michigan uses. He has a lot of athletic ability with his size, a solid get off from the line and shows a good pursuit of the ball carrier. Can he learn to play in space as an outside linebacker, or can he add the necessary weight and strength to become a good pass rushing defensive end?

    We welcome Davion Rogers to Michigan and hope he has a successful career on and off the football field as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
