Rice Football 2022 Season Preview: Wide Receivers

By

As part of our 2022 Rice Football Preseason Preview series, this week we’ll dive into the wide receiver position and discuss the Owls’ plans for that group this year.

Year over year, it’s possible no Rice football position group will look more different than the wide receiver room.

Two starters from last year’s team, Jake Bailey and August Pitre, transferred this offseason. Bradley Rozner, after missing the last two seasons, and a host of transfers (plus a position switch from Luke McCaffrey) give this room options. Who steps up? Here’s our 2022 Wide Receiver Preview.

By

As part of our 2022 Rice Football Preseason Preview series, this week we’ll dive into the corner position and discuss the Owls’ plans for that group this season.

It’s been quite an adventure on the outside for the Rice football defense in recent years. The corner position went through quite the overall over the past two seasons and then was flung into further stress by injuries that forced the team to adjust on the fly. Finally healthy, how will the Owls deploy their assets on the back end of the defense this season? Here’s our 2022 Corner Preview.

Rice Football 2022 Season Preview: Tight Ends

By

As part of our 2022 Rice Football Preseason Preview series, this week we’ll dive into the tight end position and discuss the Owls’ plans for that group on the offense this season.

The tight end position has played a pivotal role in the Rice football offense, which is rooted in the old Stanford scheme that saw the rise of playmakers at the position like Zach Ertz, Coby Fleener, Austin Hooper and Dalton Schultz. NFL talent at the position certainly makes things easier, but that’s not the only factor that might see this position group utilized slightly differently than they’ve been in years past. Here’s our 2022 Tight End Preview.
