RICE HONORS BLAIN PADGETT The 2018 Rice Football season is dedicated to our friend, brother and teammate Blain Padgett, who passed away on March 2. He was an immediate contributor from the moment he stepped on campus as a true freshman in 2015, a dominant force as a starter in 2016 and remained a leader in 2017 after an injury cut his season short. His leadership continued to energize the Owls in the offseason as the team transitioned to a new coaching staff. His name will remain alongside his teammates on our roster and his spirit and passion for the game of football will be a constant source of inspiration each and every day to the Rice Football family.
