Rice’s high-motor, every-down linebacker who stuffs the stat sheet
In the 2025 season, Ty Morris emerged as one of Rice’s most reliable defenders, leading the Owls with 88 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss while adding 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, three pass breakups, and a fumble recovery. He started all 13 games, logged 827 snaps, and was praised for his tackling, run defense, and durability, with outlets noting he plays with a true downhill, high-energy style. That combo makes him a strong fit for teams needing a physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can stay on the field and impact multiple phases.
