This page contains updated information on the 2019 Rice Football recruiting class. Updates on future classes will be made on separate pages as information becomes available.
Additional information and analysis on each commitment is available via the links in the table above. These posts were written at the time of their commitment, meaning some details regarding the surrounding class could have changed, but highlights and scheme/fit analysis should remain pertinent.
All football recruiting updates are maintained on our recruiting page. More timely updates can be found by following The Roost on Twitter and Facebook.
Note: Recruiting services such as Rivals and 247 tend to be a bit behind when it comes to Group of 5 schools and recruits with lower star rankings. Consider this list the most up to date list of announced commitments from the boots on the ground.
Important dates to know
College football’s early signing period begins on Wednesday, Dec. 19 and runs through Friday, Dec. 21. Recruits who don’t sign in this three-day window must wait until National Signing Day on Feb. 6.
