Son of NFL legend Kurt Warner, EJ Warner will take the reigns in 2024
As the Rice football program enters the seventh season of Mike Bloomgren's tenure, expectations are fairly high. Those expectations are partially due to an impressive transfer portal haul that included former Temple quarterback Elijah "E.J." Warner. E.J. is also the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner.
On Thursday, the Owls in Houston made it clear in a post to X that Warner would be the team's starting quarterback heading into the fall.Last season, Warner was the AAC's leader in passing yards per game with an average of 307.6 yards. The rising junior was Temple's starting quarterback in 20 games over the last two seasons. He has completed 524 passes on 888 attempts with an average of 6.9 yards per attempt. Temple were 6-18 over the last two seasons.
For Warner's new team, they will look to build on a 6-7 record last season that amounted to their highest win total under Bloomgren. Rice also are coming off of consecutive bowl appearances for the first time since the 2013 and 2014 seasons.Joe covers college sports from the Group of Five ranks and beyond.
