Louisville commit, 3-star defensive back Micah Rice transfers out of Moeller

Three-star defensive back and University of Louisville commit Micah Rice and his younger brother Benjamin have transferred from Moeller High School .

Micah has enrolled at North Oldham High School in Goshen, Kentucky. The Mustangs are currently 4-1 with wins over Fern Creek, DeSales, Tates Creek and Shelby County. They are ranked eighth in Class 4A in the latest Kentucky high school football media poll .

Benjamin, a sophomore running back, is now at Trinity High School in Louisville. The Shamrocks are the defending Class 6A state champions and the unanimous No. 1 team after defeating No. 2 Louisville Male last Friday.

In a recent interview with WHAS-TV, Micah said his dad, Jason, recently took a job in Louisville. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association has yet to rule on his eligibility for the season, but the North Oldham coaches are hopeful that we will be eligible by next Friday's game against Franklin County.

As a junior, Micah made 55 tackles, intercepted three passes and forced a fumble as a junior. Through two games this season, he had four tackles and one sack. The Enquirer listed him as a top recruit in the class of 2025 and one of the top 10 defensive backs in Greater Cincinnati.

He committed to Louisville in June and was on hand for the Cardinals' Week 1 win over Austin Peay. Rice also announced he will be graduating in December and joining the Louisville football team this coming spring.

Benji had 14 carries for 24 yards and a touchdown in his first two varsity games.
