Rice Football 2022 Spring Practice Notebook 2: Depth Chart

By

The first Rice football depth chart of the spring has been released featuring several shakeups across the board at a variety of positions.

So the saying goes, a depth chart is worth the price of the paper it’s printed on. If that’s how we feel about these prescribed lineups in the regular season, we ought to put much less stock in their scribbles in the spring. It’s with that important caveat I share the first Rice football depth chart of the spring.

There are a few things we can glean from these tiered position groupings, starting with who isn’t listed on the roster and venturing to the host of new faces that are cracking a Rice two-deep for the first time in their careers. And that’s before reinforcements show up in the form of graduate transfers this summer. With that in mind, here are five important takeaways from the Rice football spring depth chart.

Rice Football: What I’m watching in Spring Practices — Patreon Q&A

Rice football kicks off spring practice soon. This month’s Patreon Q&A focuses on what I’ll be following closely during these sessions.

In season or not, Rice football frequently appears as a focal point in these Q&A posts. Our February Q&A follows suit, focusing on the upcoming weeks of spring practices and which items I’ll personally be keeping a close eye on as the weeks progress. Practices are currently slated to start sometime in early March.

Rice Football: After-season Transfer Portal updates

By

Rice football has lost a handful of players to the Transfer Portal this week. Who is heading out and how what impact will that have on the Owls?

If the Rice football season spans from August to November, December is Transfer Portal season. The Owls aren’t alone in this modern college football phenomenon. There have been more than 250 transfers in the past week across the country and more are certainly coming.

Why now? At first glance, the end of the regular season seems to be a natural breakpoint in the calendar, but it’s what coincides with that break that is the more likely impetus. College programs around the country hold what many call “exit interviews” where players and staff sit down and talk through the season with individual players and discuss the future. If that future doesn’t align with the desire or expectations of a particular student-athlete, some will choose to part ways.

That sort of changeover is happening at Rice right now, just as it’s happening in football facilities around the nation. To this point, Rice football has largely benefited from this process. For every Blaze Alldredge that enters the portal, Rice has found a Bradley Rozner or Naeem Smith. Current NFL offensive lineman Nick Leverett was a transfer addition, too, as have been five Rice starting quarterbacks.

With that as a preamble, here is the latest list of Rice football players that have reportedly entered the Transfer Portal this week:
