Kyler Schott, if not Iowa? "Probably Wartburg."

[Franisdaman]

UPDATE:

If Schott had not come to Iowa he was probably headed to Wartburg.

Watch:




Tell me what you know about this kid.

He played a lot after Jackson went down.

Check out this tweet:



I know he was a wrestler.



This is hilarious:

Heard he’s a weight room freak, either already breaking or almost breaking OL records, someone can fill in the info I’m missing.

I honestly had not heard of him until after Jackson went down.

And his nickname is Scooter? lol

Is he on scholarship? Or soon to be?

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

He played very well last night, as did many of our young guys.

I know he broke the freshman OG squat record a couple years ago.

Came in as a walk-on. Haven't heard if he's been put on scholarship yet.

Great story. Stanley was well protected all game long.

 

[ghostOfHomer777]

Schott earned mention from the coaches over the past 2 camps.

 

[TreyVega]

Watched him at Kids Day. Reminded me of a smaller Yanda.

 

[Smokinthereiff]

Never heard of him but like the little i've heard since yesterday. Really liked all the players who played yesterday and the depth being built on the Oline. The interior is looking strong now to get OT some experience for when AJ and TW leave for those greenbacks.

 

[anon_hc7hkvtk15hp5]

Great story. Stanley was well protected all game long.

Yep, thought it was funny one play, the clock went off in Stanley’s head and he ran around. Had such a good pocket he came right back to where he was before. Threw the ball away and got intentional grounding.

Question on that, he was not under pressure at all, thought that was a requirement for intentional grounding??

you have to get past the tackle '"box" before you can throw it away

or, if you are in the tackle box, there has to be a receiver in the area of your throw

on that play, for some reason, Stanley panicked

 

[Franisdaman]

And now, in week 2, he is starting.

Great story.

The 2 deeps on offense:

WR - Brandon Smith, Tyrone Tracy, Jr.
TE - Nate Wieting, Drew Cook/Shaun Beyer
LT - Tristan Wirfs, Mark Kallenberger
LG - Landan Paulsen, Cody Ince
C - Tyler Linderbaum, Jeff Jenkins
RG - Kyler Schott, Justin Britt
RT - Levi Paulsen, Jack Plumb
WR - Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Nico Ragaini
QB - Nate Stanley, Spencer Petras/Peyton Mansell
RB - Mekhi Sargent, Toren Young, Ivory Kelly-Martin
FB - Brady Ross, Turner Pallissard

 

[MitchLL]

Fun fact... at one time on Saturday and the listed depth chart on the previous post... everyone one of the OLinemen was a medal winner at Hwt at some point in their Iowa high school wrestling careers.

Was Kyler Schott a walk-on?

I don't think he is on scholarship yet, either.

 

[goodbyebobby]

Impressive kid(s)

 

[bumpstock]

Absolute inspiration, and "roll" model for high school linemen who couldn't land a scholarship ~ prove 'em wrong!

 

[San_Antonio_Hawk]

I'm pretty sure it's Shooter.

 

[SuperSK]

I know he broke the freshman OG squat record a couple years ago.

IIRC outside of Tristan he is the strongest man in the locker room. Like Tyler has a mean take no prisoners attitude. Went back and watched when he was in at RG and he has a good base and strength. Can stand better pass pro but once he latches onto you in the run game as good as anyone in our interior. Not tall, 6-2 maybe an inch or so tall, but probably weighs 3 bills. Good punch.

 

[HawkIDrummer]

We have some terrific kids on this team...gotta love it

 

[NevadaHawk]

I have always enjoyed the guys who seem to come out of nowhere and make great contributions to the team. Plenty of those stories over the years in the Iowa program. Kyle is the latest one with more to come.

 

[dbrocket]

You guys see his HS highlight? It's like watching a smaller Brandon Scherff against smaller competition. This is exactly the attitude we all want Tristan Wirfs to have:

Yes and the attitude of T Linderbaum also. Two guys like that the attitude should be contagious. Sort of like when Bob Sanders was put in the lineup.

Iowa has some tenacious kids on that oline. Love it

The King of the Pancake Block!!

 

[hexumhawk]

Sometimes those shorter lineman can really work. Low man wins after all most of the time.

 

[TKingpin]

He looked like a college player playing against 8th graders! My goodness! Glad nobody else found him...

Like EVERY play. Puts the guy on his a$$

You really have to almost feel sorry for those kids on the other team! Can you imagine the high school kid across from him by the third quarter of getting his a%% planted into the grass with shooter crushing on top of him almost every play. Hell no I don't want to go back in coach... Jees.... LOL!

If that block happened to an Iowa player this place would want the guy banned from college football.

Yeah, I’d be begging the refs to be a little quicker with the whistle on every play. Schott doesn’t stop until he hears it

 

[Franisdaman]

Interesting that Mike Golic Jr made a point of tweeting about how impressed he was with Schott.

Check it out:

 

[ghostOfHomer777]

For a moment, let's suppose that what we saw from the interior OL was not fools-gold. The possible implication being that Schott, Linderbaum, Ince, Britt, and Paulsen are all pretty capable guys .... and that doesn't even count Banwart when he returns to health! That's exceedingly good news if true!
