But something remains distant. Someone who played such a significant role in putting UCF on the map and elevating the UCF brand is rarely found on campus.
Daunte Culpepper helped build the program, but on game days and throughout the season he rarely comes home.
There is no fallout or hidden story that divides him from the program. These days Daunte keeps a low profile. He rarely makes public appearances and has dealt with a number of challenges over the years away from football.

Daunte Culpepper is the greatest athlete I have ever seen at UCF in my 27 years. I have watched others come and play the quarterback position and play it well. Daunte was just different. He was special. He was one of those players who come along every 25 years — or at least you hope they do.
He gave us so many highlights and played such a big part as one of the pioneers of the UCF football program. Part of what makes Knight Nation so special is how we treat our own. As a new season filled with so much excitement is about to begin, it’s time to for Daunte Culpepper to come home again to a place he helped build and be part of the celebration.

It’s Time for Daunte Culpepper to Come Home
As we have watched and cheered the growth of the UCF football program, the one who kickstarted it all has been missing from the celebration.
