Mark Rypien’s nephew Brett Rypien commits to Boise State

The quarterback genes really run in the Rypien family.

Not only was Mark Rypien a Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Washington Redskins, but his daughter is a quarterback in the league formerly known as the Lingerie Football League, and his nephew is a star quarterback at Shadle Park High School in Spokane, Washington. In fact, Brett Rypien has committed to play college ball at Boise State.

Brett Rypien threw for 3,266 yards as a junior and had scholarship offers from Washington, Washington State, Oregon State and Arizona State in the Pac-12, as well as Mississippi State in the SEC. According to The Seattle Times, Rypien Rypien said Boise State’s coaching staff, facilities and atmosphere helped win him over.

Brett Rypien holds the state record with 613 passing yards in a game where he also threw six touchdowns. He’s 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and has thrown for over 8,500 yards and 90 touchdowns in his high school career.

He has a long way to go to surpass his uncle, but it seems like that may be a possibility.
