Rice Football 2023: Houston Game Week Practice Report

September 7, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football comes home this week to play the Bayou Bucket rivalry game against Houston. Here’s what we learned from practice this week.

This week was spent refining some things as Rice football prepares for its 2023 home opener, an important intra-city rivalry game with Houston. The Owls came close a year ago and believe they have what it takes to get over the hump this time around.

Rice football has a 113-man roster entering the 2023 season. From position changes to eligibility remaining, this chart will help keep everything in order.

Keeping track of eligibility and positions can be challenging and there wasn’t one single source that had the most up-to-date information — now there is. In addition to the roster tracker and as a complement to the roster, which has been updated to account for all the final additions and changes with the start of camp, this grid tracks every Rice football player by position and classification. Position changes from last season and/or the spring are also detailed below.

July 30, 2023 By Matthew Bartlett

Next up in our 2023 Rice Football Season Preview: quarterback. Let’s dive into the position and break down the Owls’ plans for the group this year.

For the first time in six summers, the Rice football quarterback discussion looks starkly different. There is no competition nor controversy. There is no uncertainty regarding the most crucial position on the Owls’ roster. They have a guy. They have the guy. It’s JT Daniels’ show in 2023, but what exactly will that look like? Here’s how the position looks in 2023.

Rice Football Recruiting: 2023 QB Chase Jenkins commits to Owls

March 15, 2022 By Matthew Bartlett

The first player in the 2023 Rice Football recruiting class is a quarterback. Alief Taylor signal-caller Chase Jenkins has committed to the Owls.

On the week of National Signing Day last month, the offer list for the 2023 Rice Football recruiting class saw a major uptick in volume. Rice extended a fresh wave of new offers throughout that week, including a host of local players, including Chase Jenkins, quarterback at Alief Taylor High School. After mulling the offer for a few weeks, Jenkins has committed to the Owls and become the first member of the 2023 class.

“Being the first member is something special and I’m thankful,” Jenkins told The Roost. “I’ll definitely be active in recruiting in however I can. I love football, I’m all about team and brotherhood so I’m all in.”

Jenkins chose the Owls over other offers from Lamar and Jackson State. Following a run of transfer players at the position in previous classes, Jackson will continue the recent trend of high school passers Rice has brought into the fold in recent classes. Rice signed Reedy (TX) quarterback AJ Padgett in the 2022 class following the addition of Florida quarterback Shawqi Itraish in 2021.

For Jenkins, being a part of a family, a home away from home, played a crucial role in his decision. “Going to school and playing football can be done at different places,” he said. “Doing it where it feels like a home away from home was important to me.”

There’s a ton to like when it comes to his on-field prowess as well. Jenkins prides himself on the “behind the scenes work”, digging into film and preparation however he can. It shows on the film. He’s accurate, polished and can make plays off schedule. His ability to get the ball where it needs to be at the right time is exciting. Jenkins can throw players open, an uncommon trait for high school passers.
