The 2025 Rice Football season is weeks away and we’re starting our deep dive on the offensive side of the ball with key players, schematic tendencies and more.
A new scheme is being installed and the first glimpses of a very different version of Rice football are fast approaching. In addition to what we’ve seen and reported throughout the spring and fall camp, here’s a deeper dive on this side of the ball. We talked extensively about each position and how they fit into the bigger picture of offensive success for this team in 2025 and beyond.
