Texas A&M's 41-10 rout of Missouri on Oct. 5 had repercussions off the field as well as on it. One of the biggest, literally, was that it started the process of flipping massive offensive tackle Lamont Rogers from the Tigers to the Aggies.

Rogers, one of the big three tackles from Texas in the 2025 class along with Alabama commit Ty Haywood and Oklahoma commit Michael Fasusi, has a massive offer list including ones from 11 SEC teams. But, when he decided on a commitment in early July, he picked on Missouri over A&M and Oklahoma, among others.

But the Aggies never stopped recruiting Rogers, and he was back in College Station for the opening weekend loss to Notre Dame. The improved performance of the A&M offensive line so far this season kept Rogers intrigued, and he returned to Aggieland for the matchup with the team that held his commitment.

What he saw was one-sided and decisive. The Aggies racked up 512 yards of total offense, including 236 yards of rushing at 6.6 yards a carry. He visited Mizzou again for their close win over Auburn, but momentum had started to move in A&M's direction he returned to A&M several times, including for the Texas game, before finally de-committing from Missouri Monday..

Rogers is A&M's 23rd commitment and joins a stellar offensive line class. The Aggies currently have the commitments of 4-stars Jonte Newman, Marcus Garcia and Connor Carty and 3-stars Tyler Thomas, Nelson McGuire and Josh Moses.

Rogers is an absolutely massive human being at 6-foot-8 and about 310 pounds. As you would expect, he physically dominates opponents.

When Rogers is run blocking, he's almost an unstoppable force. He gets his hands on an opponent and it's over, because when he has momentum, he's just too big for an average (or above average) high schooler to deal with. Honestly, there aren't many college players who are going to hold up against him unless they're interior linemen.

For someone so massive, Rogers actually moves pretty well. You can see him serve as the lead blocker on a counter, and being out in front on a screen pass and he does both well. And, again, when he gets moving downhill, does anyone want to be in his way?

There's not a ton of him pass blocking, but I actually liked what I saw. He moves pretty well laterally and can keep opposing pass rushers at bay with his long arms.

Rogers has a such a high center of gravity, it may affect his ability to get low. But he has really good footwork for a guy who is 6-foot-8, and that makes him really unique. He's got some things to work on, but he has the right size and attitude, so he's going to be tough to stop. The question, really, is if he's a guard or tackle. He has guard size, but I've kind of changed my opinion on whether he could be an SEC tackle. The footwork, I think, is good enough for him to do it. And boy, would that be imposing.
