And Culotta, whose Brussels team opens the season Sept. 19 on the road against the Barons of Bitburg (Germany) Air Base, said some coaches, such as those at Delaware, Duquesne and Elon, have been encouraging, asking for game film and follow-up information.
"I plan to play college football somewhere, and though it is an uphill battle getting recognition where I am, I believe I can make that happen - and make it happen with a scholarship program," Culotta said. "If I am forced to be a walk-on in a program to start, I'll deal with it. ... Continuing to work out, I am getting stronger, bigger and faster."
Last season, Culotta starred at linebacker and running back, earning the team's Mr. Football award, while leading it in rushing, averaging 5 yards per carry for a total of 476 yards, and adding five tackles a game. When practice started last month, he was elected team captain.
