In this day and age of fast-paced spread offenses, it’s not every week that a fullback sticks out on film.
Like Clemson, Virginia Tech runs a power-spread offense, and it’s fullback Sam Rogers who brings a lot of the power.
“He’s definitely popped up on tape for us,” Clemson linebacker Kendall Joseph said on Tuesday.
Rodgers, who has been utilized primarily as a blocker throughout his career, may be one of the most underrated players in the ACC. The senior captain from Mechanicsville, Va., has played in 51 career games for Virginia Tech after walking on four years ago.
