He won’t become a college football player until 2021, but Rice just picked up a sure fire All-Name Team member.
DJ Arkansas, a 3-star linebacker from Denton, Texas, on Tuesday announced his commitment to Rice. In making his commitment, Arkansas told the inspiring story of overcoming a kidney laceration as a freshman that left him with a 10 percent chance to play again.

Arkansas listed offers from Hawai’i, Duke, Boise State and... Arkansas.
