A versatile playmaker has joined the 2025 Rice Football recruiting class. Athlete Ahran Ogbor has committed to the Owls.
At this point in the calendar, adding explosive athletes is always a priority, regardless of where they’ll line up on the field. The 2025 Rice Football recruiting class added one such potential playmaker following a busy weekend of visits to wrap up January. Spring high school athlete Ahran Ogbor has committed to the Owls.
Ogbor had previously been committed to Yale before opening himself to the Owls’ advances in recent days. Along the way he’d also picked up offers from the likes of Texas Tech, UTSA, North Texas, SDSU, UNLV, Army, Navy, Tulsa and others. A lot of programs wanted Ogbor to be a part of their class. He picked Rice.
On the field, Ogbor did a little bit of everything at the high school level. The plan, as of now, is for him to start with the defense when he arrives on South Main. Ogbor profiles well as defensive back with the speed and quickness to slide into the slot and cover.
Landing Ogbor was a significant development for the 2025 class, which only had one other high school defensive back pledge (safety Michael Amey III) at the time, relying so far on several transfer additions this winter.

No matter where he’s lined up, Ogbor stands out on film. He’s dynamic and quick, dangerous when he gets the ball in his hands and twitchy when it comes to finding ways to find the football wherever it might be. He’s as versatile as it comes and a great add to this class.
