Anigbogu, Daniels, Floyd, McCaffrey, Morrison, Pearcy and Servin
The members of the Rice Football team have selected seven teammates to serve as captains for the 2023 season.
Quarterback JT Daniels, wide receiver Luke McCaffrey and offensive tackle Clay Servin were named captains on offense, defensive tackle Izeya Floyd, linebacker Myron Morrison and rush end Josh Pearcy will serve as captains on defense while safety Chike Anigbogu will captain the Owls' special teams.
Pearcy is a repeat selection as a captain after being named captain of the special teams in 2022. Four of the captains (Floyd, Morrison, Pearcy, and Servin) signed with Rice out of high school while Anigbogu was a recruited walk-on. McCaffrey and Daniels came to Rice as transfers. Six of the seven have already received their undergraduate degrees.
The group has played in a combined 230 games during their careers, including 140 starts.
The seven captains are the largest number for any season in school history. The Owls have named five captains for a season eight times, including each of the last three years.
They will lead the Owls into action for the first time on September 2 when Rice travels to Austin to face Texas at 2:30 with the game being televised nationally by FOX.
