Zach Rice; offensive lineman: Rice has only played 61 snaps in three-plus years of college football, but he was ranked as the No. 20 prospect in the recruiting class of 2022.

Syracuse’s staff took a flier on his potential.

Rice hasn’t played since the Orange lost to Duke. Brown said after SU’s loss at Miami that he will apply for a redshirt, although he did not expand on why.

Rice has already redshirted once, so he will need NCAA approval for a waiver based on an extenuating circumstance like an injury, medical or personal issue.

When asked earlier this month if the coaching staff expected to get more from Rice this season, Williams, SU’s offensive line coach, conceded that it was a good question.

He then pointed out that different players have different development curves.

Traditionally when a school brings in a redshirt junior via the transfer portal it expects immediate impact. Rice has played just 17 snaps.[/I]
