Brendan Suckley gives Rice a bruising, engineering-brain fullback presence
Brendan Suckley is a 6-foot-2, 252-pound fullback for Rice who has been valued for tough, downhill work and reliable utility in the run game; in the 2021 season, he made two starts at fullback, totaled 32 rushing yards on 10 carries, and added two catches for 13 yards, including a 19-yard outing against Texas Southern that was Rice’s best fullback rushing game in years. He also brings academic discipline and durability vibes, with repeated conference honor-roll recognition, which makes him the kind of low-flash, high-trust roster fit teams love when they want physicality and accountability.
