Rodgers, the second-highest ranked cornerback in South Carolina by 247Sports, holds five offers at the moment. His offers consist of Indiana, BYU, Purdue, Bryant and East Carolina. Rodgers told Hoosier Huddle that the three schools that stick out are Indiana, BYU and Purdue.

“I don't have any leaders as of now, but Indiana definitely is a school that sticks out to me. They are known for their beautiful campus, academics are good and it's a great place to play football. Right now, they will be an official visit. I have a great relationship with Coach (Brandon) Shelby and (Scott) Gaspar. Coach Shelby offered me and we talk a good amount. Thing about us is that we keep things straight. That's huge for me and honestly that's I could ask for.”

That's pretty much what it sounds like. Seems like we are his backup plan.

Commitments aren't worth anything until the player officially signs if I understand things correctly.

And if you're the first school a kid commits to it often means you'll never see the kid in an IU uniform.  Way of the world in football recruiting.
