Rice Football Depth Chart Questions and Stadium Notes: August 2024 Q&A

By

The 2024 Rice Football season is around the corner. What does that mean for the depth chart and when are we getting news on the stadium front? Here’s the latest.

There’s a lot going on around South Main these days. Fall camp wrapped up last week and the 2024 Rice football season kicks off next week against Sam Houston on brand new turf that was utilized by the team for the first time on Friday morning. Could stadium news be coming soon? And what will the first depth chart of the season look like when it is officially released? This month’s Q&A focuses on those two topics.

2024 Rice Football Season Preview: Corner

By

Next up in our 2024 Rice Football Season Preview: corner. Here’s our breakdown of the Owls’ plans for the group this season.

The corner room has made a lot of progress in recent seasons, but once again will ask some relatively new faces to step into large roles on a defense that asks a lot from this position. How well this unit adjusts to those demands and develops throughout the year will determine just how high the ceiling is for the defense as a whole in 2024 and beyond.

Rice Football 2024 Fall Camp Notebook 4: The Rise of Taji Atkins

By

Freshman running back Taji Atkins continues to impress whenever Rice Football takes the field. Nothing has been too big for this talented newcomer.

There’s been a “Here’s What Taji Atkins Did Today” section of every report I’ve written from camp thus far, and for good reason. The freshman runner continues to dazzle whenever he gets the football. On Saturday he carried the ball eight times for 41 yards, scoring three touchdowns. As if that wasn’t enough, on the first play of the short-yardage situation drills, Atkins bounced a ball outside and kept running until he reached the endzone.

On a play where he was asked to get one yard, he got 50.
