Colin Leahey brings a versatile, high-IQ edge to Rice’s receiving room
Colin Leahey is a 6-foot, 192-pound redshirt freshman wide receiver at Rice in the 2026 season, and his background suggests more of a versatile playmaker than a pure stat-sheet merchant. He starred at Magnolia as a senior with 1,253 rushing yards, 19 rushing TDs, and 292 receiving yards with 4 TDs, then arrived at Rice as a slot option with strong football pedigree, leadership traits, academic honors, and track speed. That combo makes him an intriguing fit if you want toughness, versatility, and upside rather than a finished product.
