Mechanical engineering major has played in all 10 games and made two starts
Rice defensive lineman Aquantis Clemmons has been named a 2025 Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar Athlete.
The redshirt freshman from Atlanta, Georgia has been a consistent presence on the Owls' defensive line this season, playing in all 10 games and making a pair of starts. He has been credited with 15 tackles, including 2.5 for loss (one sack) and has four quarterback hurries.
He carries a 3.35 GPA in Mechanical Engineering and is a two-time member of the American Conference All-Academic team. This summer he participated in the AI4ALL summer program at Carnegie Mellon University.
"Aquantis Clemmons' dedication, work ethic and intellectual curiosity have been exemplary," said Mike Yeakel, senior associate director of academic advising for athletics at Rice. "I couldn't be more proud of his accomplishments in his first two years, and in the proud tradition of Rice -- he got some help along the way. The mechanical engineering department has been a wonderful partner, working alongside Aquantis and helping him balance football with the classroom. The best is yet to come. Aquantis will make an outstanding mechanical engineer.
The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to recognize the members of the fifth annual Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program presented by Fognigma, honoring some of the brightest minds competing on the football field in the ACC and the American Conference.
"We are excited to once again present the Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program and celebrate the successes of these student-athletes on the field and in the classroom," Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. "Along with our partners at Fognigma, we congratulate these young men for their achievements and look forward to their continued success."
