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