Rice Football 2024 Spring Practice Notebook 4: Halfway Point Observations

By

Rice football is halfway done with spring practices and things continue to go smoothly as the Owls’ experienced roster works to improve.

That’s been a theme throughout the last two and a half weeks of practices and something the coaching staff has noticed, much to their delight. This update hits on those signs of veteran experience while touching on a younger position group making big strides. As always, the entire archive of practice reports is available on our Patreon.
