Rogan Lauded as the Number 5 Most Underrated Player in the Nation

10 Most Underrated Players of 2008

5. Dennis Rogan, Tennessee (Defensive Back, Returner)

Rogan is a sophomore defensive back for the Vols, but is more known in Knoxville for some breathtaking returns in the second half of last season as a true freshman. Unfortunately, he was noticed a little too late as he fell just short of the necessary number of returns needed to qualify for statistics. However, he averaged nearly 30 yards per kickoff return and had a lot of success in the punt returns. His smart instincts were beneficial on the punt returns as if it would have been a questionable catch or dangerous touch, he let it go. But he was also electrifying too. Arkansas kicked to him to open a game and Rogan returned it 78 yards inside the 10. Arkansas never kicked toward him again. He also led the Vols comeback against Vandy when he returned a kickoff 41 yards to set up a field goal and then a punt 45 yards to set up the winning field goal.

Rogan was also profiled on WVLT's 30 Days, 30 Vols report:
