Expert Analysis

Zack Reyes

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Rice picked up a late offer from Kansas St., decommitted from Hawaii, and signed his LOI with the Wildcats all in the span of a month. The #2-ranked RB in NV’s senior class is one of the most coveted and electric playmakers in this NV cycle.

Rice signed with Kansas St. after taking an official visit and backing off a Hawaii commitment earlier this month. PRZ NV’s #2-RB in the 2024 cycle is a flashy playmaker with game-breaking speed and explosiveness. He averaged over 11 ypc this season for a total of 576 yards and 10 TDs as part of the 1-2 punch with Michigan-signee Micah Ka’apana Micah Ka’apana 5'11" | 195 lbs | RB Bishop Gorman | 2024 State NV .

The Hawaii-commit showed his elite speed outracing defenders on TD runs of 35 and 45. Rice is one of the most explosive athletes for, arguably, the country’s most explosive offense.

DeVon Rice DeVon Rice 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Bishop Gorman | 2024 State NV is one of two running backs out of Bishop Gorman in this article. Splitting time in the backfield has not slowed down De Von’s recruitment. De Von has seven offers spanning from the FCS to PAC12 according to his Twitter account. With De Von just receiving his first SEC offer from Texas A&M, look for the talented halfback to become a coveted national recruit before his senior season has finished.

De Von shows a good combination of size and speed getting to the sideline untouched, then winning the track meet to the end zone versus speedy defensive backs. Good strength and balance allow De Von to run through tacklers even when he’s not at full speed. Good vision shows in the open field, but next level suddenness and lightning quick feet consistently make defenders miss in one-on-one situations.
