Junior Noah Rogers cracks top 70 in country
Rolesville (N.C.) High junior wide receiver Noah Rogers had a monster season, and it reflects in his new ranking in the Rivals250.
The 6-foot-2, 187-pound Rogers moved up 114 spots to No. 65 in the class of 2023 in Tuesday’s rankings release. Rivals.com also has him as the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina.
Rogers has caught 62 passes for 1,307 yards and 21 touchdowns this season for Rolesville (9-5 record), who are one game away from playing for the NCHSAA 4A state title. The Rams play at Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons on Friday.
Rogers has been sparking in the playoffs thus far. He has 26 catches for 578 yards and seven touchdowns in four NCHSAA playoff games.
NC State has prioritized Rogers for quite some time. Rogers has unofficially visited NC State, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Penn State this fall. His older brother is a walk-on freshman wide receiver for the Tar Heels.
