Jack Kane brings veteran ball skills and steady secondary production to Rice
In the 2025 season, Rice safety Jack Kane gave the Owls an experienced, high-floor presence in the back end: he posted 41 tackles, 1 interception, 2 passes defended, and 1 forced fumble after arriving from Oregon State, where he had already shown playmaking upside with 3 career interceptions. Kane’s appeal is less flash, more reliability — he’s a 6-foot, 181-pound senior-graduate who reads the field well, tackles consistently, and adds turnover juice when the ball hangs in the air. He looks like the kind of veteran DB coaches trust fast.
