Schmidt has great speed. His first step allows him to get more separation than most guys on short routes. His ability to locate and adjust to deep balls makes him a big play waiting to happen. His 20 yards per catch average was in the top five in the state – regardless of class – for receivers with at least thirty catches. That quickness allows him to beat most press coverage. While straight speed is what separates him – literally – he has good feet and is very creative in the open field. He is effective without the ball too. He is a solid blocker on the outside.
