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.

2024 Rice Football Season Preview: Defensive Line

By

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

The defensive line has been a solid unit since head coach Mike Bloomgren arrived. Rice football has fielded several all-conference caliber players in the trenches, building on the consistency of having the same position coach, Cedric Calhoun, and same defensive coordinator, Brian Smith, for that entire time period. Armed with that consistency and the right mix of home grown talent and impactful transfers, there are high expectations for the unit this fall.

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

The Rice football offensive line is starting to round into form. A multi-year journey of recruiting, developing and withstanding injuries has led the Owls to a strong room with five talented starting options and several more experienced reserves who should be able to step in when called upon. The outlook for this group is as strong as it’s been in quite some time.

2024 Rice Football Season Preview: Linebacker

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

A room flush with talent and limited spots on the field, Rice football has an embarrassment of riches at the linebacker position. Led by returning captain Myron Morrison, this room is going to be fascinating to watch grow as up-and-coming players work to make their mark on the defense.
