[X Buckeyes07 X]

Rivals Profile

St. Xavier High School
Cincinnati, Ohio

Height: 6'2''
Weight: 220 lbs.
40 yards: 4.7

Started at LB as a sophomore on St. Xavier's state championship defense, and was second-team all-GCL.

Word has it Michigan and Boston College have both already expressed interest. I haven't heard anything about OSU showing interest yet, but I have a feeling that they will be. I'll add more information as it becomes available.

Schneider (#13) tackling Rudy Kirbus. Also pictured is fellow sophomore starter Fred Craig (#7).

I apologize for the lack of good pictures. All are from Gary Housteau's coverage of the St. X-Iggy game in week 9 this year, who had this to say of Schneider: " Schneider is destined to be a top prospect in Ohio in two years."

At camp I was told by some St. X guys that both Schneider and Craig were going to get a serious look from OSU this year. Look forward to seeing how they do in '06.

He's huge for his age.

He's huge for his age.

Also think that was his size while playing in his sophmore season. Now he is only going to be a junior so he has a lot of time to grow. You would think he would be a prime canidate to grow into a DE or MLB at the next level.

After I read this, I expected this kid to be recruited by the big boys. Any idea why this hasn't happened?
