Schooling on record includes Southern Nash High School and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My Take
Julius Peppers is one of those athletes who makes you rethink what a human body can do. At 201 cm he was listed as both an American football player and a basketball player, and he carried that frame with rare fluidity. The 2001 Lombardi Award and 2002 NFL Rookie of the Year tell you he arrived fully formed, and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame nod confirms the longevity. What I admire most is the apparent ease: men that size usually trade speed for power, but Peppers seemed to keep both. As a defensive end he was less a player than a force of nature.
