was outstanding at the showcase. He played well as a linebacker. He has very fluid mobility, which allows him to move well. He played well, especially during one-on-one drills. His ability to cover running backs was impressive because he has the skills to lock them down in coverage. He also showed a good ability during individual drills. Schmitt was a monster all day at the showcase. He earned a 1st team selection for his performance. I cannot wait to watch him play next season for Mt. Lebanon.
Awesome event yesterday @PrepRedzonePA. Honored to be named a Top Performer! @fronkb13 @jshegog_1 @CoachTyGeorge @mtlebofootball @PRZVicCastillo @footballcoach79 @Coach_Josey @wpialsportsnews @WPIAL_Insider @NexGenbyApex @PA_TodaySports pic.twitter.com/5xkueoyP0W

turned in a strong and physical performance at this weekend’s PRZPA Exposure Series while showcasing why he is one of the rising young linebackers in Pennsylvania’s Class of 2028. The Mt. Lebanon standout brought toughness, intensity, and a relentless motor every time he stepped onto the field. At 6-foot-1 and 217 pounds, Schmitt already possesses impressive size and strength that allows him to play with authority at the linebacker position. Throughout the showcase, he consistently attacked downhill and demonstrated strong instincts while pursuing the football. Schmitt also showed the ability to move effectively in space and compete confidently against skilled offensive athletes during drills. His physical style of play and willingness to embrace contact helped him stand out among a talented linebacker group. Coaches and evaluators in attendance quickly noticed the energy and competitive mentality he brought throughout the event. By the conclusion of the PRZPA Exposure Series, Schmitt firmly established himself as a linebacker prospect whose stock continues to rise heading into the future.

is capping off my top five linebackers from the PRZ PA combine. Schmitt really caught my eye during the camp with his individual drills and his spacing and tackling reps. However, Schmitt also tested well, running a 4.9 40 and jumping an 8’10” broad. Schmitt in spacing drills was patient and didn’t stop moving allowing him to win a good chunk of his reps. Schmitt being a 2028 and having a showing like he did is worth noting, and his name is one others need to learn.
