Rice is an instinctive linebacker who uses his speed and vision to fly around the field and make plays. He finished the season with 44 total tackles and one tackle for loss, showing his ability to disengage from blockers and track down ball carriers. His lateral quickness allows him to cover ground sideline to sideline, while his tackling ability in the open field prevents opponents from gaining chunk yardage. With a full offseason of development, Rice has the potential to become an impact player for his team and a key name to watch in 1A football.
