veteran UVA walk-on with deep-range grit and team-first feel
In the 2013 season, Virginia guard Thomas Rogers was a reserve walk-on who appeared in 17 games and was praised by UVA coach Tony Bennett for having “deep range” and a willingness to do “whatever’s asked of him.”[3][14] He projects as a glue-guy fit: competitive, unselfish, and low-maintenance, with the kind of personality and effort level that coaches love even when the box score stays quiet.[10][14]
