Rice is thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Wyatt Wolpert on his acceptance to play baseball for Big East Division 1 Villanova. This is an outstanding achievement and a testament to his hard work, dedication, and exceptional talent in the classroom and on the baseball field.

Wyatt's strong aptitude for learning, coupled with his diligence in both the classroom and on the baseball field, has truly set him apart. It's not only his impressive pitching skills that have caught the attention of Villanova, but also his commitment to academic excellence. Wyatt's ability to balance the demands of academics and athletics is truly commendable.

Over the past couple of years, Wyatt has consistently proven himself as one of Rice's best pitchers. His contributions to the team have been invaluable, and it's no surprise that he will be heading to the Division 1 level. Wyatt's commitment to improving his craft is evident to all who have had the pleasure of watching him play and work with his teammates.

As the strong, silent type, Wyatt leads by example, inspiring those around him to strive for greatness. His dedication to helping his teammates become the best players they can be is a true testament to his character.
