The review of the class of 2007 that we started back at the end of January got knocked off track by things that were actually happening, but now it's practically summer and therefore a good time to get the thing rolling again.

Prior posts in this series include Who Showed and Who Played (identifying the four guys who didn't even make it onto campus, the 13 guys who made it but didn't play, and the 15 guys who played at least to some degree), a review of RTT#31 Kevin Cooper's 2007 season, and a review of RTT#27 Savion Frazier's 2007 season. Today we take a look at RTT#25 Dennis Rogan's 2007 season, and in the following days, we'll look at the seasons that the following players had last year:

As a quick review, here's how Rogan's high school profile looked:

There was some question about Rogan's academic eligibility during the recruiting process, which could explain his relatively low standing in the rankings. I say "relatively" because his athletic numbers were downright jaw-dropping:

Tennessee offered Rogan a scholarship once they were certain he would be eligible, and Rogan committed 24 hours later.

So how did he do for Tennessee as a true freshman? Great, considering it took the coaches half the season to discover just how valuable he could be. Rogan returned a whopping one kickoff in the first five games but then returned at least one in eight of the last nine games. He wasn't used as a punt returner at all until the ninth game against Louisiana-Lafayette, but then he returned 16 punts for 165 total yards in the last five games. So Rogan had 548 yards despite only playing essentially half of the season and then only on special teams. Toward the end of the season, Rogan started playing cornerback.
