Zach Rice prepares for potential starting role with Syracuse Orange

Zach Rice, a redshirt senior offensive lineman, is looking to solidify his position with the Syracuse Orange for the 2026 season. After a limited appearance in 2025, playing in two games, Rice is poised to compete for a starting role following the graduation of several offensive line starters. Originally a five-star recruit, he transferred from North Carolina and aims to leverage a year of experience in Syracuse's system. Syracuse was the only school to publicly offer Rice during his transfer. As the season approaches, he will have opportunities to secure a spot on the two-deep roster.
