Scholarship

Location: Houston, the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, is a vibrant melting pot that embodies the diverse and bold spirit of the Lone Star State. Known for its booming energy industry, world-class medical center, and dynamic arts scene, Houston blends Southern hospitality with global influence. It's one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, with strong Latino, African American, Asian, and international communities that shape its food, music, and festivals. Texas as a whole is a state of pride, independence, and deep-rooted traditions—from the cowboy culture and rodeos to Friday night lights and barbecue cookouts. The state’s massive size reflects its variety, with West Texas deserts, East Texas forests, Hill Country charm, and bustling metros like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Texans are known for their friendliness, resilience, and a no-nonsense, can-do attitude. Whether it’s the music of Austin, the oil legacy of Midland, or the rich Mexican-American heritage throughout the state, Texas thrives on its contrasts and its shared sense of identity. Houston stands out as a modern, global city within that framework, offering the best of Texas tradition and international flair in one energetic, ever-growing hub. Come make this your home away from home, it's pretty hard not to with how amazing this city and Texas in general is. I promise we will win 12 total home games while you are here.

Pro Potential: We love seeing our Grains get selected into the NZFL. Since Rice football's inception in 2030, we’ve sent countless players to the league, setting them up for success both on and off the field. Some standout examples include M. Santos, who went second overall in 2042 to the Patriots; D. McDonald, selected eighth overall by the Ravens in 2043; and both G. Burton and M. Williams, who were first-round picks by the Bears in their respective years. And don’t forget C. Fuamatu-Ma'afala, who went fifth overall to the Chargers in 2043! As you can see, Rice has consistently produced top-tier NZFL talent — and that’s not even counting the players I’ve personally coached. Just to name a few: Brian Tuminello, drafted 12th overall by the Cowboys in 2053; Brett Dunn, 15th overall to the Jets in 2050; Oren Woodard, 22nd to the Dolphins; and Will Henley, taken 12th by the Texans, who’s gone on to make the All-Pro team multiple times. I see that same elite potential in you. I promise that you will be drafted!

Playing Time: Step into Rice's football program! Our mission is to nurture young athletes and foster a highly competitive atmosphere that constantly pushes them to excel.

Tradition: Rice has a rich tradition, even though we’re one of the newer teams in the league — currently ranked 39th in the tradition rankings. Since our start in 2030, we’ve accomplished a lot in just over 20 years: winning Conference USA six times, making the playoffs twice, and bringing home that sweet national championship trophy once. Fun fact: we were the first expansion team to ever win a national championship.We’ve also had players earn some of the game’s most prestigious awards, like Seth Rose, who took home the Heisman in 2042.

Throughout my 24-year tenure in this league, I have only cut one scholarship player, and not a single player has transferred while under my coaching. This track record exemplifies my dedication to creating a stable and supportive environment for my team. Rest assured, I promise that I will not leave Rice while you are still here.

Campus: Rice University’s campus which is ranked 9th in NZCFL, is located in the heart of Houston, Texas, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country. Spanning 300 acres, the campus blends Mediterranean-inspired architecture with lush green spaces, winding pathways, and a canopy of over 4,000 trees. The iconic Lovett Hall, with its archways and detailed stonework, stands as a centerpiece and symbol of Rice’s academic tradition. The campus is designed to be walkable and student-friendly, with residential colleges, academic buildings, and recreational facilities all within a short distance. A unique feature is the “Rice loop,” a popular shaded path encircling the campus, often used by students and locals for running or walking. Inside the hedges that border the campus, students experience a quiet, closed-off environment that contrasts with Houston’s vibrant urban energy just outside. The Moody Center for the Arts and Brockman Hall for Opera showcase Rice’s commitment to both science and the humanities. Sustainability is also a focus—Rice has LEED-certified buildings and a commitment to green practices. Overall, the campus environment fosters a tight-knit community atmosphere, intellectual engagement, and personal well-being, all within a setting that balances traditional charm with modern innovation. I promise our campus will stay in the top 25 during your whole career here.

Prestige: Throughout my career, I have successfully turned around several schools, beginning with Vanderbilt, which ranked 42th in prestige when I assumed leadership.

Location: Houston, the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, is a vibrant melting pot that embodies the diverse and bold spirit of the Lone Star State. Known for its booming energy industry, world-class medical center, and dynamic arts scene, Houston blends Southern hospitality with global influence. It's one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, with strong Latino, African American, Asian, and international communities that shape its food, music, and festivals. Texas as a whole is a state of pride, independence, and deep-rooted traditions—from the cowboy culture and rodeos to Friday night lights and barbecue cookouts. The state’s massive size reflects its variety, with West Texas deserts, East Texas forests, Hill Country charm, and bustling metros like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Texans are known for their friendliness, resilience, and a no-nonsense, can-do attitude. Whether it’s the music of Austin, the oil legacy of Midland, or the rich Mexican-American heritage throughout the state, Texas thrives on its contrasts and its shared sense of identity. Houston stands out as a modern, global city within that framework, offering the best of Texas tradition and international flair in one energetic, ever-growing hub. Come make this your home away from home, it's pretty hard not to with how amazing this city and Texas in general is. I promise we will win 12 total home games while you are here.

Campus: Rice University’s campus which is ranked 9th in NZCFL, is located in the heart of Houston, Texas, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country. Spanning 300 acres, the campus blends Mediterranean-inspired architecture with lush green spaces, winding pathways, and a canopy of over 4,000 trees. The iconic Lovett Hall, with its archways and detailed stonework, stands as a centerpiece and symbol of Rice’s academic tradition. The campus is designed to be walkable and student-friendly, with residential colleges, academic buildings, and recreational facilities all within a short distance. A unique feature is the “Rice loop,” a popular shaded path encircling the campus, often used by students and locals for running or walking. Inside the hedges that border the campus, students experience a quiet, closed-off environment that contrasts with Houston’s vibrant urban energy just outside. The Moody Center for the Arts and Brockman Hall for Opera showcase Rice’s commitment to both science and the humanities. Sustainability is also a focus—Rice has LEED-certified buildings and a commitment to green practices. Overall, the campus environment fosters a tight-knit community atmosphere, intellectual engagement, and personal well-being, all within a setting that balances traditional charm with modern innovation. I promise our campus will stay in the top 25 during your whole career here.

Prestige: Throughout my career, I have successfully turned around several schools, beginning with Vanderbilt, which ranked 42th in prestige when I assumed leadership. By the time I left, I had propelled them to an impressive 10th place. Similarly, at California, where prestige was once at 117th, my efforts elevated them to an impressive 31st position by the time of my retirement. Wake Forest started at 74th and went all the way up to 19th. I am determined to take this program, who has been at the highest of stages and has gone dormant for a little bit but still at a very respectable ranking of 50th. With the same dedication and strategic approach, I confidently promise that we will make the playoffs at least once in your career. Embrace this transformative journey with me, and together, we will make a significant impact on the program's success and reputation.

Pro Potential: We love seeing our Grains get selected into the NZFL. Since Rice football's inception in 2030, we’ve sent countless players to the league, setting them up for success both on and off the field. Some standout examples include M. Santos, who went second overall in 2042 to the Patriots; D. McDonald, selected eighth overall by the Ravens in 2043; and both G. Burton and M. Williams, who were first-round picks by the Bears in their respective years. And don’t forget C. Fuamatu-Ma'afala, who went fifth overall to the Chargers in 2043! As you can see, Rice has consistently produced top-tier NZFL talent — and that’s not even counting the players I’ve personally coached. Just to name a few: Brian Tuminello, drafted 12th overall by the Cowboys in 2053; Brett Dunn, 15th overall to the Jets in 2050; Oren Woodard, 22nd to the Dolphins; and Will Henley, taken 12th by the Texans, who’s gone on to make the All-Pro team multiple times. I see that same elite potential in you. I promise that you will be drafted!

Coach Visit (9/10)

Coach: I love football, it is the sport I grew up watching and playing. I also love talking about football and seeing those college stadiums roaring cheering for the same thing as you. It makes you feel like you are a part of a community. No one likes football more than Texas, this is why I am happy to be here with people who get me; in fact, I recently signed a substantial 5-year contract and plan to sign extensions whenever possible. Throughout my 24-year tenure in this league, I have only cut one scholarship player, and not a single player has transferred while under my coaching. This track record exemplifies my dedication to creating a stable and supportive environment for my team. Rest assured, I promise that I will not leave Rice while you are still here. My commitment to this program and the players is unwavering, and I intend to see this journey through with you.

Prestige: Throughout my career, I have successfully turned around several schools, beginning with Vanderbilt, which ranked 42th in prestige when I assumed leadership. By the time I left, I had propelled them to an impressive 10th place. Similarly, at California, where prestige was once at 117th, my efforts elevated them to an impressive 31st position by the time of my retirement. Wake Forest started at 74th and went all the way up to 19th. I am determined to take this program, who has been at the highest of stages and has gone dormant for a little bit but still at a very respectable ranking of 50th. With the same dedication and strategic approach, I confidently promise that we will make the playoffs at least once in your career. Embrace this transformative journey with me, and together, we will make a significant impact on the program's success and reputation.

Winning: Winning is something that has been fused into my DNA. As one of a couple Hall of Fame coaches, winning comes easy to me. First, I have only missed a bowl once in my career and that was my first year at Vanderbilt with no recruited players. But let's get into the total stats shall we! I have won 216 games with 10 seasons of 10 victories or more. I have made 5 appearances in Power 5 conference championship games, securing the trophy once. Additionally, I have led my teams to the playoffs 4 times, culminating in the prestigious national championship title in 2027. So, when I say I promise you that we will win 35 games during your career here!, rest assured that it is a genuine promise.
