Read below for the latest on SMU wideout Rashee Rice

One of the more underrated prospects in the 2023 class, Rashee Rice of SMU, is headed for the NFL. 

#SMU WR Rashee Rice declared for the 2023 NFL Draft and will not play in the New Mexico Bowl, Mustangs’ HC Rhett Lashlee announced.

Rice had a tremendous year for the Mustangs, doing so with a broken toe dating back to September. That could only hold back the talented playmaker so much, with his overwhelming skillset prevailing. 

A smooth route runner that displays natural pass-catching tendencies and yards after the catch ability, Rice has a chance to catapult himself in the pre-draft process.

With Rice foregoing his bowl game, he aims to be fully healthy for the Senior Bowl. A big week in Mobile could considerably impact his draft projection, as we have seen with many over the years. 

Expect to hear more of Rice as the months inch towards April.
