One of the more underrated players in the state who you may not know is 2025 Lincoln WR Aidan Rice Aidan Rice 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Lincoln | 2025 State WV . We couldn’t find any social media presence for Rice on X, but his junior highlight tape warranted a placement inside of the top 150 and a Top 25 WR ranking. He’s a long athlete at 6’3 with a track background where he placed inside of the Top 15 in the 110m hurdles at the WVSSAC State Track & Field Championships this spring. Rice’s playmaking ability on the football field at his size is impressive as a fluid athlete who doesn’t move how many 6’3 athletes typically move. He has the typical catch radius and leaping ability that athletes his size usually do, but Rice’s ability after the catch isn’t the norm. He has great balance and the speed to runaway from defenders in the open field which also aids his ability to create separation during his routes.

Rice may very well still be underrated at his current ranking and has the potential to enter the Top 100 as the Cougars’ likely #1 option in the passing game this season.
