The 2025 Rice Football Recruiting class includes several hand-picked impact players on defense. Here’s how that side of the ball stacks up.
The 2025 Rice football recruiting began with 12 signees on Wednesday, the first day of the Early Signing Period and the first recruiting haul for new head coach Scott Abell. Of those players, all are current high school seniors and four play on the defensive side of the ball.
“It’s an exciting time for me,” Abell said. “These are my very first recruits that I have the opportunity to welcome here to Rice. I just can’t imagine anything better.”
We’ve gone position by position breaking down each of the new Owls and how they’ll help the program on the field.
