Rice Football Recruiting: OL Jabari McAlmont commits to Owls

August 6, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2024 Rice Football recruiting class grabbed its first pledge since early July, landing a commitment from offensive lineman Jabari McAlmont.

As the summer winds down and the football calendar kicks into gear, the 2024 Rice Football recruiting class is making moves. The Owls landed eight commitments in the span of two weeks in the middle a June recruiting frenzy, then the track cooled down for a bit, until now. Klein Cain offensive lineman Jabari McAlmont has committed to the Owls.

McAlmont had only reported one offer at the time of his commitment to the Owls, and that was the invitation directly from Rice. Under Mike Bloomgren, Rice has not been afraid to be quick to offer, frequently seeing players unrated by recruiting services elevated to three-star recruits following their pledge to the Owls.

McAlmont also continues to decidedly Texas-centric start to the 2024 class, which now features only one out-of-state pledge (offensive lineman Lane Jeffcoat from Arkansas). In fact, most of the 2024 class as it stands hail from the Houston area.

The Owls have extended more offers along the offensive line than to any other position. With the addition of McAlmont to the fold, they now officially have more commitments in the offensive trenches than anywhere else, breaking a four-way tie with two commits apiece from running backs, wide receivers and corners.

McAlmont was primarily a guard at the high school level, but his 6-foot-4, 303-pound frame should give him some options as far as versatility at the next level. Where he lined up didn’t change his tenaciousness at the line of scrimmage or his ability to lock his man up and win one-on-one battles in the trenches, frequent features on his highlight reel.

August 4, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: offensive line. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

The journey of the Rice football offensive line has felt like a true odyssey. Transfers, injuries, iron men and fresh faces have been jumbled together over the years in hopes of finding the perfect combination. The position looks to have some depth this year, which should be a big boost, but getting the right combination up front remains key. Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

The first depth chart headed into 2023 Rice Football fall camp has been released and there’s a lot to unpack as the Owls hit the grass this week.

Rice football fall camp officially kicked off on Tuesday and with it, we have our first depth chart on the fall. There has been a lot of roster churn over the summer, making this edition look quite different from the spring depth chart in many respects.
