Former Four-Star Football Prospect from Louisville Enters Transfer Portal

One of the highest-ranked recruits from the area over the last five years is back on the market. Defensive lineman Tahj Rice has entered the transfer portal.

A four-star recruit out of Louisville Waggener High School, 247 Sports ranked Rice as the No. 10 defensive end in the 2018 recruiting class. Out of high school he committed to play for David Cutcliffe at Duke, the highest-ranked recruit in the Blue Devils’ ’18 class.

In two years of action Rice recorded 16 tackles, 2.5 TFLs and 1.5 sacks. Of all his early career highlights, nothing can top his commitment video, the greatest commitment video in the history of commitment videos.
