2025 Iron Man LB with 101 Tackles & All-AAC Honors
Andrew Awe, Rice Owls senior linebacker, delivered a career-defining 2025 season with 101 tackles (third in AAC) and 5 sacks, earning Third Team All-AAC honors and becoming the first Rice LB to surpass 100 tackles since 2019. Known as the team’s 'Iron Man,' he played all 12 regular-season games with relentless intensity, no injury history, and a playmaker mentality that elevates every defensive set. His jersey change from 27 to 0 signals a fresh, aggressive identity. Awe’s combination of durability, tackle volume, and leadership makes him an ideal fit for teams needing a high-intensity, stat-driven linebacker who thrives in pressure situations.
