A natural pass-catcher who has been ultra-productive in one of the nation’s toughest conferences, Rice offers a lot of skill and potential as a number one receiver. Needs to physically mature and improve his route-running, yet with proper coaching and the right attitude he can be a factor at the next level.


Biography:

Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors after his freshman and sophomore campaigns. Pass-catching totals last season were 72/1,090/10 after 70/1,143/13 the prior year.

Pos:

Fluid receiver with a lot of natural skill. Quickly releases off the line, consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame and beats opponents for the jump ball. Plays with terrific body control and balance, and effortlessly reaches back to grab the errant throw. Displays good eye/hand coordination and makes some spectacular receptions. Effective running after the catch. Produces as a blocker when he gives effort.

Neg:

Has a thin build, is not physically strong nor very aggressive. Lacks true downfield speed and a second gear.
