The 2024 Rice Football recruiting class took off over the weekend including offensive lineman Lane Jeffcoat, the newest of the Owls’ commits.
The camp circuit came to South Main this past weekend and the 2024 Rice football recruiting class benefited from the influx of talent onto campus. The string of commitments began on Sunday and has continued to march onward every day since. The latest addition made his announcement on Tuesday: offensive lineman Lane Jeffcoat has committed to the Owls.
Jeffcoat picked Rice over offers from North Texas, Tulsa, Arkansas State and others. That’s yet another head-to-head recruiting win over the Mean Green this week and more victories over fellow AAC programs
Jeffcoat is the second offensive lineman in the class so far, making his pledge the day after fellow member of the trenches Luke Miller. In a class that is likely to have only a few slots for offensive linemen, the tandem on Miller and Jeffcoat makes for an extremely strong start.
He’s the seventh member of the class to date, although several other commitments have been hinted at by Owls’ recruiting director Marco Regalado on social media. That number is likely to grow quickly. Rice has already added four new members to the 2024 recruiting class this week.

Standing 6-foot-9 and tipping the scales at 295 pounds, Jeffcoat certainly looks the part of a collegiate offensive lineman. His high school tape is filled with highlights of him outmuscling the competition. He’s not limited to raw power, though. He moves his feet well and drives would-be tacklers off the ball. The potential to combine those physical tools with technical skill makes his ceiling extremely high.
