Hans Rice gives Samford a lean, veteran linebacker profile with proven tackle production
Hans Rice is a 6-2, 223-pound linebacker for Samford who has shown the kind of steady, assignment-sound play coaches trust in the middle of a defense. In 2012, he recorded 9 tackles and 0.5 sack for the Bulldogs, and earlier coverage noted him as part of Samford’s linebacker reset heading into 2013, which suggests a player built more on reliability and football IQ than flash. If your team wants a disciplined, physical LB who can fit the run and keep the defense organized, Rice is the kind of glue guy worth a hard look.
