#2 Chase Roberts — This is *not* a picture of BYU wide receiver Quenton Rice — as far as I can tell, he amassed no statistics during his time with the Cougars. But if he *had* caught a pass for them, it might have looked something like this. Here’s hoping he is slightly more productive for the Wildcats in 2024! | Jeff Swinger-USA TODAY Sports

Quenton Rice (June 5, 2003) is a transfer wide receiver via BYU who hails from Sin City. He is majoring in nutrition and health, and could see playing time on special teams this year.

He spent the 2021 through 2023 seasons at Brigham Young, redshirting in the 2021 season.

Rice prepped under head coach Vernon Fox at Faith Lutheran High School in Las Vegas, where he was regarded as the 19th-best prospect in Nevada for the Class of 2021 by ESPN.

He started playing football during his junior year of high school, a season in which he caught 17 passes for 377 yards and five touchdowns.

Rice also competed in track and field — setting the school records for the 100-meter, 200-meter, 4×100-meter and 4×200-meter relays — in addition to basketball.

His father, Rodney, played football at BYU before spending the 1989 (New England Patriots) and 1990 (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) seasons in the National Football League, while his brother, DeVon, is an incoming freshman running back for the Wildcats.

Quenton Rice picked BYU over offers from Colorado, Dixie State, Northern Arizona, Utah Tech and Weber State. He was rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports, Rivals and ESPN.
