bigbird 60,292 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 6'6" 245-255 as a sophomore? Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 6'6" 245-255 as a sophomore? Dang! Geez. Without knowing anything else about him it sounds like he may fit more as an athletic OT than a TE since he already has that frame as a sophomore in high school.

The Plainsman 948 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Already a 4* on scouts. And that is a good area to get back into for AU IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinGA44 265 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Met his dad a couple years ago through a coaching clinic, great guy who was very humble about the talents his son has. Very excited for the Rice family. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tivo48 31 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Granted I'm sure it was a hand-clocked time, but he reportedly ran a 4.78 this summer. If he can get that down a 1/10 of a second he'd be lethal. Assuming the stats I just looked up are correct, even the 4.78 would have been good enough to break the top 10 for TE's at the combine this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,784 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Help me out here please, 2016 commit? He's been a high school sophomore for about 4 months? He looks in his 20s in those photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurtz Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Good job coach Horton. Man I like the notion of having a good portion of our recruiting slots already filled with the kids we want & need going into the latter half of each year. Then we are only waiting on a few big dogs to walk going into NSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure if his listed height is quite accurate. compare their eyes and nose. Rice's are higher Yep and look at the level of the chins too. Rice is also a tad further away from the camera and Adams has a hat on so it's deceiving. Rice is a good 1"-2" taller than Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
