MIAMI | Belen Jesuit Prep senior Javan Rice has signed a letter of intent to play football at Vanderbilt University.

His family, teammates, and classmates joined him Dec. 20 in the Belen Jesuit Dining Hall for the signing ceremony.

Rice is the first Wolverine to take part in the new NCAA rule allowing football recruits to sign early. Rice will join the Commodores in January.

“Javan exemplifies what it means to be a football player at Belen Jesuit,” said head football coach Eduardo Delgado. “He’s an outstanding student, has worked very hard to become one of the country’s top kickers and is a great teammate. We are very proud of him.”

“It is a great honor for the Belen community to have Javan recognized for his stellar abilities,” said Principal Jose E. Roca. “He is a well-rounded young man who will represent Belen Jesuit well at the next level.”
