Rogan is seeking to regain the form that made him an All-American at USD

I had agents “putting out their feelers” in an attempt to potentially retain me as a client of theirs following the next season. I had one class left to take to receive my diploma from the University of San Diego (a la Matt Leinart at USC), and my motivation could not have been any greater.
I spent my summer in 2008 working in Northern California and training nearly every day with my uncle who was formerly a drug-free powerlifting champion. I entered our training camp weighing 208 lbs., my heaviest weight ever, and was running faster than I ever had before.
Our first game was my opportunity to showcase my new and improved self, and I had my sights set on breaking records including the NCAA all-purpose yardage records held by Brian Westbrook. The first quarter of our first game was all I had hoped it would be. I had a thirty-six yard kickoff return, one catch for a twenty-nine yard touchdown and three carries for fourty-six yards in the first quarter alone.
