Rex Culpepper
Scoop Bradshaw
Tampa Safety Scoop Bradshaw Visiting Tuesday with Rex Culpepper (PS; Bailey)
Syracuse has a highly touted quarterback coming to visit next Tuesday in Plant (Tampa, Fla.) High School junior Rex Culpepper.
One of the top signal callers in Florida, Culpepper has offers from Clemson, Ohio State and Florida, among others, and is heavily considering a commitment to SU, his father, Brad Culpepper, detailed in a phone interview on Wednesday.
However, Culpepper isn't the only Class of 2016 prospect flying up for the day. He'll be joined by Plant junior safety and close friend Scoop Bradshaw.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound Bradshaw has offers from Syracuse, Utah, Indiana, South Florida, Western Michigan, Florida Atlantic and Toledo, according to At their request, this network is being blocked from this site.. He is rated two stars by and unrated by the rest of the major recruiting services.
Bradshaw recorded 110 total tackles, including 26 for loss, three sacks, two interceptions, two caused fumbles and one fumble recovery in 12 games played last season, according to MaxPreps.com. He also scored touchdowns off an interception and kick return, per MaxPreps.com.
Syracuse's current safety situation features a host of unproven entities. With only three scholarship safeties in redshirt sophomore Chauncey Scissum, redshirt freshman Rodney Williams and sophomore Antwan Cordy, it appears a true freshman will crack the two-deep depth chart upon arrival in July.

After a Scare, College Football Will Return to Ireland in 2016 (nbcsports.com; McGuire)
It looked as if the chances college football would be played in Ireland in 2016 were dead. It turns out it was just on life support.
Aviva Stadium in Dublin is expected to be announced as a host venue for a 2016 game between ACC programs Boston College and Georgia Tech. The42 in Ireland reports a formal announcement will be made by TaoiseachEnda Kenny and everything is good to go forward. That announcement could come as early as tomorrow. Croke Park, which had previously hosted Penn State and UCF to open the 2014 season, has been ruled out as a potential venue due to the Gaelic Athletic Association determining it was not financially viable. Fortunately, for those rooting for college football abroad, there seems to be support to see through on bringing American college football back to the country of Ireland.
ACC commissioner John Swofford has said in the past he was interested in taking ACC athletics abroad to Europe when possible, and Boston College and Georgia Tech have long been tied to a possible game in Ireland. When the game would be played is still to be determined, assuming it happens, but there have been discussions and rumors suggesting this game in Ireland would be more likely to be played later in the season as opposed to a season-opening game. However, that was also likely due to scheduling conflicts with the GAA and the Croke Park Classic. A change in venue may open up the possibility of a season-opening game abroad, which would seem to be more desirable for the participating schools. Although, a game abroad later in the season also gives each school and the ACC a chance to showcase its product in an exclusive time slot in the midst of the season, for whatever that is worth.
As schedules sit right now, Boston College has two non-conference games (vs. UMass and at Northern Illinois) scheduled for mid-September, with two vacancies in the first two weeks of the season. Georgia Tech has a vacancy in the first weekend of the season. Georgia Tech’s non-conference schedule is already full too, which suggests the Yellow Jackets will be playing a conference game in the opening week of the 2016 season once the ACC schedule is finalized (which may not be until the spring).
