College career
Sharpe played college football for the Miami Hurricanes. He is perhaps well known by Miami fans for a controversial pass interference call in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl at the end of the first overtime, in which he was flagged for pass interference in the end zone on 4th and 3 and Miami leading 24–17. The call kept Ohio State's drive alive and allowed them to tie the game, and they ultimately won in the second overtime 31–24, preventing the Hurricanes from repeating as national champions.
