Next up in our 2026 Rice Football Season Preview: slot. Here’s our breakdown of the Owls’ plans for the group this season.
Rice football was introduced to the slot position last fall, when head coach Scott Abell initially installed it to use in his gun-choice option offense. Aaron Turner took the reins of the room, coming into his own late in the season to demonstrate the great potential the position holds. With him out of eligibility and newcomers to the room, there’s a lot of anticipation for this group to take its next step.
