How’d he get to the Blue™?

A three-star recruit per 247Sports and Rivals Mr. Schramm spurned offers from Air Force, Army, and San Jose State. Hometown squad Fresno State very curiously not on the list. Very curious. Anyway, he chose correctly with the Broncos.

Career Highlights

While wearing blue and orange he made it in eight games last year. Recorded five tackles and a broken pass. That’s about it (so far) but another year brings another more opportunities!

2020 Prospectus

With the mixture of the Nickels in the LB corp, there is going to be some challenges in getting on the field. If we assume Kaniho gets the start at Nickel, Whimpey at the WLB, and Zeke Noa at MLB, then that is going to cause a jam for playing time. While Schramm will likely make it on the field in reserve and special teams, starting next year will come at a premium. Which is a good problem to have. Schramm has all the makings of a really productive player. Looking forward to him getting his chance.

Is he on Twitter?

Yes. And you can follow him here. But he mostly just retweets stuff.

Completely made up fact

Schramm is an avid Pokemon GO player (anyone still play that game?) and successfully completed the Kano Pokedex. Still not sure how he finessed that Kangaskhan but you have to admit it’s impressive.
