Brenden Rice, born March 18, 2002, is an American football wide receiver for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans. He transferred to USC from the University of Colorado Boulder after the 2021 season and has since doubled his yardage output.

Rice was a standout wide receiver at Hamilton High School in Arizona, where he set several school records. He was rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN and chose to play for Colorado over offers from several other Power Five schools.

In his freshman season at Colorado, Rice caught 20 passes for 244 yards and three touchdowns. He then transferred to USC in 2022 and immediately became a key contributor to the Trojans' offense.

As a sophomore at USC, Rice caught 60 passes for 858 yards and nine touchdowns. He was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team and was also a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the nation's top wide receiver.

Rice has continued to impress in his junior season at USC, catching 55 passes for 791 yards and eight touchdowns through the first nine games of the season.
