Rice Basketball Recruiting: G Jordan Williams commits to Owls

June 3, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

An SEC transfer has signed as the final addition to the 2025 Rice basketball recruiting class. Former Vanderbilt point guard Jordan Williams is officially an Owl.

Following an initial flurry of activity with the end of the season, rosters across the country have been trending closer and closer towards competition. The 2025 Rice Basketball recruiting class found its final member not too far from South Main. Houston native Jordan Williams has signed his grant-in-aid to play for the Owls this coming season.

Williams hails from Second Baptist High School not too far down the road, where he got his start, before initially signing with Texas A&M. He would redshirt in his lone season in College Station before transferring to Vanderbilt, where he saw action in 37 games, making 10 starts across the past two seasons.

Upon his signing, Rice basketball head coach Rob Lanier called Williams “an extremely competitive player who has the skill and aptitude on offense along with versality and grit on defense” as well as a player who “brings an abundance of something we cannot teach…toughness.”

He will likely be the final member of a transfer ground that includes players from across the country such as Texas A&M-Corpus Christi center Stephen Giwa, Prairie View A&M guard Nick Anderson, Mount St. Mary’s guard Dallas Hobbs and JUCO forward Eternity Eguagie.
