We’re joined this week by longtime friend and Owls’ broadcast JP Heath to preview the 2026 Rice Football offense led by quarterback Jacurri Brown.
JP Heath has seen a lot of Rice football games, and, in his own words, might just be more excited about this 2026 group than he’s been about the Owls’ on the gridiron in quite some time. What’s got him so intrigued? We talk through the splashy new additions on offense and what they’ll mean for the Owls’ production on that side of the ball this fall.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the audio quality of this episode, given technical difficulties at the time of recording. We are working diligently to ensure it does not happen again and already have a solution in place.
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 235.
