The 2025 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re wrapping the series up with some Charlotte talk at American Conference Media Days with Hunter Bailey.
The final edition of our Rice Football opponent summer preview series concludes in Charlotte at American Conference Media Days where we sat down with Hunter Bailey of the Charlotte Observer to talk about an eventful offseason for the 49ers program. From a new head coach to a host of new players, we previewed what to expect from this team this coming season.
