’24 WR/DB/ATH expecting huge senior season
Logan Rodgers is undeniably among the more explosive and “twitchy” players in all of Western Kentucky. He is considered a WR but we like him equally in the defensive backfield, or even as a special teamer in the return game. We have him labeled an “athlete” and we will die on that hill. Rodgers is coming back for one more tour in Morton’s Gap and we are sure he will have the Storm clouds forming in and around Hopkins County. Together, they will be ready to rain on the parade of ’23 opponents.

There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank Player of the Week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry.
Independence Bank has a goal of achieving everyday excellence, and this week we are focusing on a versatile football player who is presently being recruited by programs from the A-Sun to the OVC to the G-MAC. Logan Rodgers has a versatile skill set and can strike lightening for his team in all three phases of football.
Logan Rodgers is a 5’10,” 160-pounder who led his ball club a year ago in a variety of categories. He was among the leaders in yards from scrimmage, carries, TD’s rushing, receptions (1st, 44), yards receiving (1st, 599), and TD’s receiving (1st, 9). He was among the leaders in special team’s TD’s (housed a punt) and even INT’s. We call that a three-phase contributor.
Logan Rodgers’ performance this past season exceeded all reasonable expectations for his team and has resulted in his having numerous exciting opportunities to land on big-time college football rosters.
Hopkins County Central High is located just down the road from two Madison area Independence Bank branches, one located on 629 E Center Street and the other located on 1776 N Main Street.
Get on by and visit either of these fine branches today. Discover what makes Independence Bank’s people, products, and services revolutionary in the financial services industry.
Rodgers is a guy who has lifted the play of the entire program since his coming on the scene as only a freshman. He is a track team sprinter and leads the program in several of the sprints including the 100-meter which he clocks in the high 10’s very low 11’s. For those of you who don’t know, this means Rodgers is a legit 4.5-second, 40-yard dash guy. We have had that time corroborated for us by Madisonville-area sources and it correlates well with his track speed in the 100-meters.
Last year, for the Storm, Rodgers gained 253-yards rushing with 4-TD’s on only 24-carries. He caught 44-passes, for 599-yards, and 9-scores through the air.
Rodgers scored 86-points on the season, good for second, scoring on the ground, through the air, and on special teams. He housed a two point conversion too, just for the heck of it.
Rodgers played limited defense. In spite of his limited defensive run, he managed to be among the team’s leaders in INT’s.
We were able to speak with our own Chief of the Scouting Division, Fletcher Long, about this prospect. Long told us, “Rodgers and McNary both have changed the landscape for the Storm program and have attracted other similar type athletes to its roster.”
Long continued, “It wasn’t long ago when The Storm was a sure win for opponents when popping up on that team’s Fall schedule. No one’s overlooking The Storm anymore.”
Long concluded, “Rodgers is among the best athletes playing football anywhere in Western Kentucky. For that matter, Rodgers is among the best athletes in the entire commonwealth, particularly at Central’s level of competition.”
Congratulations to Logan Rodgers for his “Revolutionary Play” through the ’22 season and good luck to the rising senior as he gets prepared for the ’23 football season. His play to date, and that which is forthcoming, has earned this versatile, multi-sport, HS varsity superstar this week’s recognition from the fastest growing bank in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, our friends at Independence Bank.
