Rapp Culture Article

Which makes Rapp's rapid rise to one of the country's fiercest, hardest-hitting defensive backs -- following in the backpedals of former Washington greats Marcus Peters, Budda Baker, Sidney Jones and Kevin King -- even more remarkable. He's beaten long odds, undeterred by a city that failed to support prep football, a high school community that openly mocked him, coaches who were unprepared to develop his talents, college recruiters who blatantly overlooked him and kids who racially taunted him for his Chinese ethnicity.

He walks further through the grounds and suddenly stops. Painful memories are beginning to flood back. "You know how at most schools the football team makes fun of the cross-country team?" he asks randomly. "Here it was the opposite. Here we were made fun of by them."

Lulz. Still have hard tim believing that TRapp came out of Sehome. The Bellingham school have sucked ass forever.

That was a great, technically-gifted article

I know he played against shit competition in high school, but I don't know how you look at his HUDL highlights and SPARQ numbers and think he was going to be anything less than a beast.

Very moving article though. It's cool to get some more insight into how it all played out. I'll always be a fan of Rapp Culture.

Cross country is dope

If you are too small to play a real sport

UW's rebirth in one picture. Only need Pete in there to be perfect.

Unheralded* Asian kid from Sehome signs with UW. 9 months later he's pick 6ing in the conference championship game, wins freshman DPOY, and is slamming Alabama's Bo Scarbrough in the backfield.


*to all save the TSIO crew who labeled him a star well before anyone else did.

Yeah, Rapp is the greatest data point in TSIO's favor, and they have a lot of them. That kid's a fucking chinsane talent.

First team all american this year. First rounder next year. First chinese Pro Bowler soon after that.

Me love him long time.
