He’s one of the best receivers in Rice history.
McCaffrey transferred to Rice ahead of the 2021 season to finish out his college career. While he started his time with the Owls as a quarterback, throwing for 313 yards and two touchdowns, he eventually made a position switch and moved to wide receiver permanently in 2022. It ended up being the best decision for McCaffrey, as he went on to be one of the best wideouts in program history.
“I think the whole first year that I switched to receiver that first season, I put so much emphasis on the fundamentals of the basics of route running and the basics of getting off press and doing that,” McCaffrey said.
