Rice's clear top 2027 prospect. 2025 team MVP — 889 rush yds, 1,225 all-purpose, 262 kick-return yds, 7 TD — plus Phil Steele preseason 2ND-TEAM All-American Conference and a DCTFB All-Texas preseason nod. Returns as RB1 in an option scheme built to feed him. No national top-100 or mock consensus yet, so he is graded as a productive G5 back with return value, not a Day 1-2 name.
