Rogers was already suspended from team activities after he was arrested and charged with raping two women in separate incidents last fall.

Rogers was suspended for one game during the 2023 season under former head football coach Kalen DeBoer. One of the women reported the alleged attack to the university's Title IX Office, and Rogers was taken off the roster for the Pac-12 Championship game just a few days later. However, he was allowed to play in the college football playoffs.

In April, Rogers pleaded not guilty to one count of rape in the second degree and one count of rape in third degree. Rape in the second degree usually applies to cases of forced compulsion or when the victim is physically helpless or mentally incapacitated. Rape in the third degree often applies to a "date rape" in which the victim did not consent to sexual intercourse and "lack of consent was clearly expressed by the victim's words or conduct," according to the Seattle Police Department.

Rogers' trial is scheduled to begin in July.
