Daily News | Lonnie Rice, former Bishop McDevitt star, makes Syracuse dream come true after brief JUCO stop
Since he was 16 years old, playing for the Orange weighed heavily on his mind. Even his former head coach at Bishop McDevitt, Mike Watkins, who has since become his mentor, felt Rice and Syracuse were a perfect fit.
“When I was getting recruited out of high school, I was a quarterback, safety, [defensive back], and a linebacker, so I think the biggest confusion [for prospective coaches during] the recruiting process for me [coming out of] high school was ‘what position is he going to play?’” Rice explained.
After losing the national championship in eighth grade and suffering an ankle injury in the process, Rice recalls questioning if he wanted to pursue the sport he had played his entire life, saying it was a “lot going on in my head” as he felt as though he was merely “going through the motions.”“He honestly changed my life with that call,” Rice recalled. “I felt like he was the person and coach that still had faith in me and believed in me, and saw the good in the situation of me being injured.
