...I am interested in working in a veterinary clinic or an animal rehab facility.

Name:  David Rice

Class year:  2025

Major:  Zoology with a minor in history

Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
I enjoyed the campus when I visited, I wanted to come to a basketball program with a rich history of winning, and Ohio Wesleyan offered my major of zoology.

Why did you choose your major?
I have always enjoyed working with animals even when I was a little kid and I am interested in working in a veterinary clinic or an animal rehab facility.

Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
I love playing basketball and appreciated the coaching staff and the history of the basketball at Ohio Wesleyan.

Do you have any pre-event rituals or superstitions?
I usually listen to music, stretch and pray before a game.

What event/sport other than your own would you like to try?
Either football or tennis

If you could have a super power, what would it be?
To teleport

What is your favorite place to eat in Delaware, and what is your go-to dish there?
Amato's Woodfired Pizza and I get a pepperoni pizza

What is your theme song?
"Say What's Real" by Drake

Which three people, living or dead, would you like to share a meal with?
Drake, Kobe (Bryant), J. Cole

If you could visit another time, when would it be and why?
2016.  I think it was the best time for music, video games, and sports as the Cavs won the championship that year.

What advice would you give to someone considering becoming a student-athlete?
Inform your professor you play a sport and do work as soon as you can to prevent a buildup.

What is your favorite season and why?
Fall.  I enjoy wearing sweatshirts and seeing the leaves change colors.

What is your dream job and why?
Working in an animal clinic because pets are just as important in a family as anyone else.  I want to make sure I can do my best to keep these animals healthy.
