Top 10 highest-rated Virginia HS football players since 2000
9. Zach Rice – 0.9937
The lone player on this list who is still in college, Rice just completed his true freshman year at North Carolina. Prior to his time in Chapel Hill, Rice was a highly-coveted tackle from Liberty Christian Academy. The 6-foot-6, 282-pound athlete recorded 219 pancake blocks as a senior and didn鈥檛 surrender a sack in either his junior or senior seasons.聽 Rice, an Under Armour All-American, committed to UNC in Oct. 2021.
During his true freshman year with the Tar Heels last fall, Rice played in two games for a total of 16 snaps at right guard. He is expected to compete for a starting spot this fall and will look to live up to his high prospect ranking.
Tar Heel nation please help me wish a Happy Birthday to our guy ! Hope you have a great one! We can鈥檛 wait for the Pancake Crew to be back tailgating this fall and coming to watch you and our Heels win!
