SHARERecruit: Mike Schmall from Mission Viejo, CA
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 215 pounds
High School: Mission Viejo, Mission Viejo, CA
Position at Penn: LB
Recruited By: Brown, Yale
The Recruiting Moment: Schmall heard from other Division I coaches, but as soon as the Ivy League’s started to come around he had to look at them. Penn sold him with the chance to win.
The Skinny: Schmall was a CIF –SS East Valley Division Defensive MVP in his junior year as St. Margaret’s in San Juan Capistrano, CA before moving on to SoCal powerhouse Mission Viejo his senior year. Schmall made a smooth transition as an outside linebacker and will need to be a little more physical in taking on lineman. However, what he lacks in physicality, he makes up with speed. His 4.65, 40 yard dash allows him “to cover wide receivers very well.”
The Quote: “[I am most excited about] the whole atmosphere that Penn basically entails. I’m so happy of the clear path the school sent me on.”
