Bradley Rice has carved out a special-teams edge for Idaho
In the 2025 season, Idaho safety/special-teams ace Brayden Rice turned in a career year with 23 tackles, his first tackle for loss, and a Second Team All-Big Sky nod as a specialist; he also earned Idaho’s special teams player of the week twice. The big differentiator here is impact without flash: he’s a reliable, high-effort coverage piece whose value shows up in field position, discipline, and consistency. If a team wants a tone-setter who embraces dirty-work snaps and keeps stacking trust, Rice is exactly that kind of fit.
