If any of you start getting emails from my cousin in Nigeria who just won the lottery, I'm not sharing.

His brother changed the caption on his instagram post of a photo of them together to a broken heart emoji and @ed Rex. Again, I think the obituary stuff is sketchy, but seems to be true.

Few former players have posted about it. So sad.

Look Eric dungey posted several tributes so I’m sure it’s real.

Also tragic that Rex had recently got engaged, like literally a few weeks ago.

Very sad

 

[OburgOrange]

Tragic. He gave his all on the field. Orange forever. RIP Rex

Yeah, Kielan Whitner and Rex were super close. Also, looks like Rex just got engaged. Unbelievably sad. Rex was truly one of the most interesting humans we’ve had at Syracuse in a very long time.

Positively heartbreaking. Sending love to Rex and his loved ones. Life is precious.

 

[BKCuse]

Awful to hear this. I rooted hard for Rex as a player, cancer patient and alum.

So sorry to read this.

I remember being so impressed with his parents.

And so happy that we beat out the likes of Clemson and Ohio State to land Rex.

And then so awe inspired when he beat cancer, and fought his way back into football shape.

Anyone remember how he played the last few snaps of the spring game, and threw a long TD pass while the coaches were worried about him getting hit? It was like storybook, after undergoing chemo.

And then him earning some starts [admittedly due to injury].

And then him posting a video about him playing guitar, and shredding like Eddie to some Van Halen tune?

Why am I not surprised that he graduated near the top of his class at Stetson for law school?

This kid was excellence personified, even if his football career didn't unfold with the promise it initially had.

RIP to Rex Culpepper.

I was able to find the picture of us talking and meeting Rex at the spring game while still going through cancer treatments. The kids are the ones you spotted and knew his story and ran off to talk to him first. Could not have been nicer to them and had the biggest smile the whole time.
He will be sorely missed. 100% getting this picture printed and hung up with our other Syracuse stuff.

I shed tears reading the news of this young man's passing and my broken heart goes out to his fans, family members, and friends! He's a true hero and absolute inspiration with the toughness he exhibited during his journey through cancer. Peace, Rex, your spirit will live on...

So sad! Thinking about his family. Just awful
