Rice Football
Roster by Position
Rice Owls football plays in the American Athletic (FBS), based in Houston, TX. The current roster lists 102 players, and 26 of them are seniors or fifth-years in their final season. The biggest turnover is at linebacker, where 4 of 10 are in their final year. Every punter on the roster is in his final year, so that spot is fully open after this season. Head coach Scott Abell is in season 2.

“Final year” counts seniors and fifth-years on the current roster. It's a starting point for research, not a promise of playing time.
