- Rice on Why Tennessee: "Freshman year was one of the most physically and mentally challenging years of my life. As a UT student-athlete, you're expected to perform athletically and academically at the highest level. In the beginning, I was extremely overwhelmed, but my teammates, coaches and the athletic department gave me everything I needed to succeed. While freshman year was one of the most challenging years of my life, it was also the most fun."
