Mountain West (MW) preseason Defensive Player of the Year Justin Rice has forgone his senior season as Fresno State and is entering the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-2, 225 running back turned linebacker announced his decision Friday morning in a letter to “friends and family of Fresno State Football.” Rice cited the COVID-19 pandemic led to his decision to enter the transfer portal as he wishes to “chase his dreams by having the opportunity to play football this fall.”
As Rice enters the portal, he will essentially become a free agent, and any schools that are still playing football this fall can begin contacting him.
