Syracuse, N.Y. -- Rex Culpepper is cancer free.

The Syracuse football quarterback completed a three-month battle with testicular cancer when tests after his final round of chemotherapy on Friday returned clean, his father, Brad Culpepper, said in a text message.

The younger Culpepper celebrated his most significant victory yet by ringing the bell at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.

Culpepper, a redshirt sophomore, spent the last couple months bouncing back and forth between Tampa, his hometown, and Syracuse, undergoing 100 total hours of chemotherapy. He received support from friends and family who wore #RexStrong wristbands, as well as high-profile figures such as Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and owner Jerry Jones, who sent him a signed pair of boxing gloves.

Culpepper stayed engaged with his teammates during spring practice, and even convinced head coach Dino Babers to let him lead the last drive of the spring game -- one that finished with a touchdown pass and moving celebration.

Now Culpepper is eager to get back to Syracuse and participate in summer workouts. He made his first career start in the Orange's season finale at Boston College and is expected to compete behind senior Eric Dungey.

Culpepper will return to the hospital for a final scan to confirm his clean bill of health in about six weeks, according to his father.
