2025 Rice Football Season Preview: Safety

August 4, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

Next up in our 2025 Rice Football Season Preview: safety. Here’s our breakdown of the Owls’ plans for the group this season.

A revamped Rice football defense will have plenty of new faces, but the safety room will be more familiar to Owls’ fans than most. A mix of longtime contributors and returning starters, supplemented with key transfers, makes for a fascinating dynamic on the back end of the defense that will be tasked with keeping everything in front of them this season.
