Rice Football 2025 Season Preview: Roster Grid

By

Rice football has a 106-man roster entering the 2025 season. From position changes to eligibility remaining, this chart will help keep everything in order.

Keeping track of eligibility and positions can be challenging and there wasn’t one single source that had the most up-to-date information — now there is. In addition to the roster tracker and as a complement to the roster, which has been updated to account for all the final additions and changes with the start of camp, this grid tracks every Rice football player by position and classification. Position changes from last season and/or the spring are also detailed below.

All roster changes are up to date as of Aug. 1, 2025.
