Bailey Rice (born 10 February 1997) is an college football punter and former Australian rules footballer who plays for the Charlotte 49ers.
He was selected by St Kilda at pick #49 in the 2015 national draft as a father-son selection, with St Kilda matching a bid from Richmond.[1] Carlton had put in a father-son bid for Rice who had nominated St Kilda as his preferred club.[2] He made his senior debut against Collingwood in round 9 of the 2018 season. He was delisted at the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season.[3]
In 2021, Rice switched to American football, accepting a collegiate scholarship with the Charlotte 49ers after a stint with Australian training outfit The Punt Factory.[4]
Rice is the son of Dean Rice who played for St Kilda and Carlton.[5]
