Matthew Schimberg Matthew Schimberg 6'5" | 235 lbs | TE/DL Grandview | 2027 State CO is one of the premier two-way TE recruits in the Western US.  At 6’6 235, Schimberg has great size and a frame that can add more mass. His role at Grandview shows how much he’ll be able to effect the game at the next level.  As a blocker is extremely advanced compared to his peers.  He does a great job engaging his hips, blocking with a good base, and attaching to defenders from a variety of alignments in the run game.  Split zone, inline, out of the back field – regardless of where he lines up, Schimberg uses his length and low body strength and to run his feet and consistently move defenders.  In pass pro, Schimberg does a great job passing off stunts and using his good lateral quickness to stay in front of rushers.  As a pass catcher he shows great body control to adjust to the ball and open his hips up.  He shows a willingness to run routes, shifting his weight and sinking his hips to sell routes when he’s aligned outside and inside the core.  He runs QB friendly routes and understand when to sit his routes down especially on the backside to not run to coverage.  After the catch he shows fluidity for his size to get vertical and pick up YAC.  I’m a big fan of Schimberg and believe he has the potential to play beyond college based on his skillset and abilities shown on his JR tape.
