Zach Rogers looks part black to me. He definitely appears to have a lot of Caucasian admixture in him though. Good luck to him if he truly earns his playing time- due to talent and hard work- and not simply melanin (afroleticism).

It seems almost unheard of for a white athlete to get an FBS scholarship at CB currently. It has gotten significantly better in recent years at WR and RB, but CB has probably gotten worse. Almost any white CB either walks on and usually spends all or most of his career on the bench, or is switched to safety. And it doesn't seem to matter how much of a shut down CB they may have been in H.S for a top team in their state (for instance- Texas 5A football) even when combined with above average combine numbers compared to blacks getting offers (for instance: 4.48, 4.05, 6.73, 36 in., 9'9").

Yeah, but if you look around the collar of his shirt, you can see he tans very, very easily. You can see the change easily. He goes from being tan, to pretty much white. I'm guessing Kent State didn't notice that when they offered him his scholarship. But I wouldn't rule out him being part black, just bringing that up.
