Welcome to the Rice University prospective student-athlete information page. We have compiled a list of the recruiting contacts for each of our team sports, so that you may contact them for information. You will also be able to download a questionnaire, if applicable, in order to provide our coaches with more information about yourself. We have also included links to several other sites to provide additional information about the overall recruiting process, the process for enrolling at Rice, along with information about the City of Houston.
