Knox Culpepper, a member of Lovett’s Class of 1981, was an allstate linebacker in high school, and went on to be a record-breaking player at the University of Georgia for the Bulldogs. Now, as a Lovett father, Knox recalls the importance of his athletic involvement at Lovett—and the lasting impact it can have beyond the immediate wellness aspects.
“I was very fortunate to have been surrounded by a number of great coaches in my life: Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick, Vince Dooley, Johnny Majors. All of them were inspiring, but the one individual who had more of an impact on my life than anybody was Coach Jim Glasser at Lovett. And that’s a heck of a statement.” “My fondest memories of Lovett are centered around the Riverbank and wrestling in the gym with Coach Glasser,” Knox continues. “The lessons I learned from him have always stayed with me. I attribute the success I have today to his influence. Having the opportunity to be around people and programs like that is an example of how this place makes a difference.”
