The 2026 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by Omar-Rashon Borja to look ahead at Army.
It’s been an eventful few seasons at West Point for head coach Jeff Monken and Army. A spike 12-win season was a high point, but back-to-back losses to Navy stole some wind from the Black Knights’ sails last season. Led by returning quarterback Cade Hellums, what can we expect from this team in the lead-up to their late-season matchup with Rice football in the fall? Longtime guest Omar-Rashon Borja fills us in.
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 230.
