Trey Briggs is a steady, productive linebacker anchor for Rice
In the 2026 season, Trey Briggs has emerged as a reliable front-seven presence for Rice, with the Owls listing him as a redshirt junior at 6-1, 235 and noting he ranks fifth on the team with 47 tackles, including a career-high nine tackles against Houston[1]. He projects as a tough, high-effort linebacker who can find the ball and hold up physically; the main appeal is dependable run support and tackling volume, though public data here is limited on coverage splits and advanced grades[1][2].
