Culpepper has connection with the Orange

Syracuse brought in quarterback Rex Culpepper a couple years ago and now they are looking at his brother Judge Culpepper.

“My brother goes to Syracuse. It was actually my first division one offer, and it was a big deal to me.”

With his brother being a member of the Orange he has been on campus a lot already and enjoys his visits.

“They have a great campus and a great staff.”

A return trip to see the Orange is already planned.

“I plan to head back to Syracuse soon. I will be up to watch the spring game.”

As far as the coaches recruiting Culpepper he has three paying close attention to him.

“Coach Reno, Coach Lewis and Coach Babers are all recruiting me. Our relationship is great.”

A couple other items also stick out about the Orange right now.

“They have great Academics there as well as the family connection.”

That family connection could be big down the road. When asked if he thought about catching touchdown passes from his brother at the college level was going to be important in recruiting he answered with one word.

“Absolutely!”

A decision though will not be coming soon for the Sunshine State product, but he does have a time frame in mind.

“I will probably make a commitment in the summer before the season.”
