The Rice football staff hosted several players on campus this weekend and handed out several offers. Here’s a rundown of the major moves.
Rice football had a host of players on campus this past weekend. A few offers went out and one player, guard Regan Riddle, pulled the trigger and committed to the Owls before the weekend was through.
Riddle was one of six offers that have been made public to this point. Here’s how the five other players offered this weekend stack out:
Izeya Floyd
- Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 305 pounds
- Rank: Unranked
- Position: Offensive line
- Notable Offers: Air Force, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
John Harrington Jr.
- Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 165 pounds
- 247 Rank: 2-star
- Position: Athlete
- Notable Offers: UMass, Texas State, Yale
Zane Knipe
- Height/Weight: 5-foot-11, 175 pounds
- 247 Rank: 3-star
- Position: Wide receiver
- Notable Offers: Illinois
McKel Broussard
- Height/Weight: 6-foot, 182 pounds
- 247 Rank: 4-star (composite)
- Position: Athlete
- Notable Offers: None
Trevor Bycznski
- Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 220 pounds
- 247 Rank: 3-star
- Position: Pro-style quarterback
- Notable Offers: Bowling Green, Buffalo, Georgetown
Coach Mike Bloomgren seems to be spreading his focus fairly evenly thus far. He’s offered a good mix of players with Power 5 offers and dug for a few diamonds in the rough that have yet to be discovered. That same philosophy came to bear this weekend.
Of all the offers that went out, quarterback Trevor Bycznski is the most intriguing. The Owls don’t have a quarterback yet in the 2019 class and finding someone that can run Bloomgren’s offense should be a top priority.
Bycznski got himself on the radar last week at Notre Dame’s skills camp. If he’s impressing the Irish he’s definitely someone worth looking into. He drew accolades for his arm, but he’s also a plus player with his legs. That kind of versatility opens up options whenever he’s on the field.
Rice has picked up a pair of commitments this week. As offers continue to go out it’s only a matter of time before the Owls landed another piece of the 2019 class.
