During Sharpe's high school years, he racked up some impressive stats and awards. He had 102 tackles and 3 interceptions from his linebacker position. He was considered to be a 3-star prospect by Rivals.com.

Sharpe originally signed with Auburn out of high school, but chose to attend Butler County Community College in Kansas instead. Then he transferred to Arizona Western College, where he was a standout redshirt freshman in 2006.

Rex Sharpe's time at Arizona was so successful that he was an NJCAA 2007 Preseason All-American choice for first team.

Now, the University of Minnesota will be Sharpe's 3rd college and he will finally see time as a member of the Big 10. University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football Coach Tim Brewster looks to Sharpe’s 2008 season as a time to build off previous success and contribute to the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football team’s winning season.
