Preston Rice brings a pro-style frame, dual-threat flashes, and veteran QB experience to Middle Tennessee
Rice is a 6-foot-2, 215-pound quarterback with a pro-style build who has shown he can manage an offense and add value as a runner, including a 21-yard rushing touchdown at Kentucky and a two-touchdown, one-rushing-score outing for Murray State in 2021. He earned preseason All-OVC recognition and Offensive Player of the Week honors, which suggests he has been viewed as a high-upside leader at the position. For a team, the appeal is a sturdy, experienced quarterback with enough mobility to extend plays and enough résumé traction to project as a steady fit in the right system.
