By Daniel Youngblood
As a prep standout at Wylie during the 2006 and 2007 seasons, Cameron Rogers viewed University of Houston quarterback Case Keenum as a role model.
He watched as Keenum, a former Wylie standout, beat all odds to excel at the Division I level and had dreams of doing the same.
Like Keenum, Rogers was not highly coveted out of high school. In fact, he wasn’t offered a single Division I scholarship.
But like Keenum, Rogers wouldn’t let that deter him from realizing his dream. And just a little more than a year after walking on to play at Southern Methodist, the 6-foot, 223-pound linebacker has earned a scholarship and playing time for the upstart Mustangs this season.
