Nate Rogers is UAB’s dual-threat wild card with real juice as a runner
In the 2025 season, Nate Rogers quietly flashed as a change-up quarterback for UAB: he completed 1 of 2 passes, but added 84 rushing yards on 13 carries and scored 2 rushing touchdowns, showing he can stress defenses with his legs[3][4]. UAB’s 2026 camp notes say coaches trust him to run the whole offense, and he helped finish a red-zone scrimmage drive with a touchdown pass, which hints at growing command beyond the box score[11]. At 5-foot-10 and about 190-195 pounds, he profiles as a compact, competitive QB who fits a team needing pace, toughness, and versatility more than a pure statuesque pocket passer[1][4].
