Hunter Rice is VMI’s tone-setter at RB — a proven finisher with all-conference juice
In the 2024 season, Hunter Rice backed up the hype with 800 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdowns, and zero fumbles, earning Second Team All-SoCon honors and becoming one of VMI’s most reliable offensive engines.[14] In the 2023 season, he was even more explosive in the end zone, leading the SoCon with 14 rushing touchdowns and finishing with 867 rushing yards, including a four-touchdown performance against No. 14 Western Carolina.[1][8][13] He’s a compact, physical runner with proven short-yardage value and big-game toughness — the kind of back who can flip a game when the defense gets tired of tackling him.[1][14]
