2024 Rice Football Season Preview: Wide Receiver

By

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

Perhaps the deepest room on the Rice football roster, the second and third levels of the wide receiver depth chart represent a fierce battle for playing time that will be worth following throughout fall camp and into the regular season. Replacing Luke McCaffrey is just part of the intrigue at this position which boasts a couple of experienced returns a pair of transfers and a host of players vying for more time on the field this coming season.
