Rice’s hard-nosed special-teams captain with blue-collar value
Geron Hargon is a 6-foot-2, 230-pound fullback and special-teams leader for Rice who earned captaincy in 2024 and has built his value on toughness, consistency, and assignments you don’t always see in box scores. In 2024, he played in the first eight games before an injury at UConn ended his season, after logging 104 special-teams snaps and 18 offensive snaps; in 2023, he posted a career-best 162 special-teams plays and graded 72.1 by PFF, second among Rice’s primary special-teamers. He also brings real academic polish and leadership, with multiple honor-roll nods and an MBA-track profile that screams trusted locker-room glue.
