New Rochelle, New York College: Rutgers NFL Team: Baltimore Ravens Position: Runningback
Raymell "Ray" Rice (born January 22, 1987 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American football running back for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Ravens in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Rutgers.
Rice has had to deal with tragedy and adversity from a young age. When Rice was only a year old, his father Calvin was killed in a drive-by shooting. Ray's cousin helped to raise him before dying in a car accident in 1998. Ray's mother Janet raised her four children with only one income from her job as a special education teacher.
Rice was the primary running back in high school, playing alongside former Rutgers teammates Courtney Greene and Glen Lee. His sophomore and junior seasons saw him take the primary duties, but he became the feature back his senior year.
In his junior year, he helped lead New Rochelle High School to a New York state championship, and he took the team to the finals his senior year. The quarterback of his football team was Geoff McDermott, currently a forward on the Providence College basketball team.
Before attending Rutgers, Rice had initially committed to Syracuse University; he switched his commitment to the Scarlet Knights following the firing of Syracuse head coach Paul Pasqualoni in 2005.
Rice, affectionately known as Ray-Ray or Ray Baby, attended Rutgers University. In 2005, (Rice's freshman year) Rutgers had its first winning season in 14 years and played in only the second bowl in the football program's then 136 year history. In 2006, the Scarlet Knights won a school record-tying 11 games and registered the school's highest ever season-ending national poll ranking, finishing at #12 in both the Associated Press and Coach's Polls.
As a true freshman Rice finished the season as the starting tailback for Rutgers. Rice rushed for 1120 yards and 5 TDs during his freshman campaign, including a 217-yard performance against the University of Connecticut.
Ray Rice Highlights
Highlights from Ray Rice's college career at Rutgers.
Rice gained 1,794 rushing yards in 2006 with 20 touchdowns. His total in 2006 set Rutgers' single-season rushing yardage record, shattering J. J. Jennings' mark of 1,353 set in 1973. Rice's backfield partner his freshman and sophomore seasons was fullback Brian Leonard. Leonard considered entering the NFL Draft in 2006 but stayed for his senior year and took on a less prominent role in the offense which aided Rice's rise to stardom. Rice was also a finalist for the Maxwell Award and finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting. Rice was named Big East offensive player of the week a school-record three times in 2006. All three times, Rice rushed for over 200 yards, including a career high 225 yard game against the Pittsburgh Panthers. Rice ended his sophomore season with 170 yards on 24 carries with 1 touchdown during the inaugural Texas Bowl to give Rutgers its first bowl victory ever in a 37-10 win. He was named MVP of the game.
Rice was widely considered a candidate for both the Maxwell Award and Heisman Trophy in 2007. One of the reasons why Rice was considered as a candidate for the Heisman awards were his stellar playing in 2006. The many Ray Rice highlights from the 2006 season contributed to his popularity today.
On October 6, 2007 against the Cincinnati Bearcats, Rice scored his 35th career rushing touchdown, setting the all time program record.
On November 9, 2007 against the Army Black Knights, Rice ran for 243 yards and scored twice in the 41-6 win against Army, setting a new school record previously set by Terrell Willis in 1994, and his new single game record.
On January 5, 2008, at the second annual International Bowl in Toronto, Rice ran for a new school record of 280 yards, along with 4 touchdowns as Rutgers beat Ball State University 52-30. One of the TD runs was the longest of his career - a 90-yard scamper. Rice won the MVP award for his performance.
On January 8, 2008, Rice declared his intention to enter the 2008 NFL draft
