Old Dominion’s Clutch Kicker: Nick Rice Brings Proven Walk-Off Reliability
Nick Rice has been one of Old Dominion’s most dependable special-teams weapons, with school-record production and a reputation for money-time kicks; in his 2021 season, he helped the Monarchs with 19 field goals and a walk-off 46-yarder against Louisiana Tech, and ODU noted he finished as the program’s career leader in made field goals and attempted field goals. His differentiator is composure under pressure—he’s shown he can land the kick when the game is hanging by a thread, making him a strong fit for teams that value a steady, veteran leg and late-game trust.
