Idaho safety Brayden Rice is an under-the-radar depth piece still fighting for a bigger role
Brayden Rice is a developing Idaho safety whose value so far is in upside more than box-score production: through the 2025 season, he has logged only 2 solo tackles, but that also suggests he is still competing for snaps in a deep defensive backfield.[7][5] At 6-foot-0 and 175 pounds, he has the frame to add strength and stay versatile in coverage, which makes him more interesting as a long-term fit than a finished product.[8] If your team wants an immediate impact starter, he is not there yet; if you want a coachable, ascending defensive back with room to grow, he is worth tracking.[7][8]
