“It was amazing!” Rice said about the visit in an interview with The Juice Online.
The Lackawanna (PA) CC linebacker/EDGE entered the portal in November and picked up an offer from the Orange shortly after.
“I was pumped up,” Rice previously said about the offer. “It’s been a long time coming I’ve been in contact with Syracuse since I was 16 so I was honestly shocked.”
