Yes, which means that half were lower than that.

Rice
SAT - Verbal Range (25-75%): 660-760
SAT - Math Range (25-75%): 670-780

Of course they are not jocks, but I am not sure that being a jock is all that important in this day and age.

One key statistic:

"Despite the drop in the number of applicants, SAT scores and the class rank statistics have either improved or remained steady at all of the academies. The number of students they are admitting has not wavered considerably, either."

It looks like the drop off is in the applicants who would not have gotten in anyway.

My first response is: So what. Rice is a great school.

My second comment is being a jock is important at the Academies. Three pillars: Academics, Athletics, Character
