Schneider was a returning attendee of the PRZ CA Showcase after earning top performer honors among the RB group last offseason and continued to show promising growth and development at Sunday’s event. The Chaparral playmaker broke out as the team’s leading rusher last season with over 1,300 yards and 9 TDs on 184 carries. He’s a quick, efficient runner that wastes little-to-no movement, can cut and get side to side in a hurry, and offers versatility in his receiving ability. Schneider is an underrated RB prospect that should gain some traction on the recruiting trail throughout the offseason.

Schneider rushed for 1354 yards with nine touchdowns for Chaparral this season after transferring from Norco.

He’s been a mainstay on the camp circuit for years now and has performed very well at Prep Redzone camps and the National Preps Showcase. Schneider creates separation against the linebackers during 1-on-1 periods and is smooth through all the individual drills.

Schneider ran for 200 yards with a touchdown on 14 carries in Chaparral’s 64-14 win over Great Oak.

Schneider was discussed for MVP and made it a close competition. He is an explosive athlete who looks bigger than when I last saw him. He showed some wiggle in the cat and mouse drill and can turn up the speed when needed. Schneider is also a front of the line guy in drills and is always itching to get more reps.

Schneider is one of the top 2027 running backs across California, and is coming off a stellar second season campaign for Norco where he rushed for 1,200 yards and 16 touchdowns. He is a natural ball carrier with a quick initial burst at the first level and start/stop abilities in tight windows. He shows good vision at all three levels of the defense and has cutback abilities with sneaky third level speed. He runs with natural forward lean and can break arm/ankle tackles while flashing lateral movement and short area quickness in the hole. He’s a very complete back with the ideal build for the position and is a well put together ball carrier that is a no-brainer next level guy.

Schneider was a top performing RB with the promising development and skillset he showed on Sunday. Showed strong fundamentals and feel for the position in the indy session and showed some ability to create separation against LBs in 1v1s. Was a high-volume playmaker for Norco as a sophomore, leading the team in rushing with just under 1,200 yards and 16 TDs. Schneider is a dynamic playmaker to keep an eye on as he continues to develop in the coming seasons.

Schneider ran for 1,199 yards with 13 touchdowns and had a touchdown reception for Norco this season which earned him Prep Redzone All-Southern California team honors.

He’s a hard runner for a guy his size and he reads defenses well. Schneider isn’t a speed demon, but is a skilled player with good instincts that I’m excited to see.

Schneider ran for 1,199 yards with 13 touchdowns and had a touchdown reception for Norco this season.

Schneider is a versatile back that rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and 13 touchdowns as a sophomore. At 5’10” 175 lbs. he possesses excellent vision and instincts as a ball carrier. Navigates traffic well, showing he can read the field and identify running lanes as the play is developing. Not a burner in terms of top end speed but his quickness and lateral agility allows him to be elusive in space. Great ability to make the first defender miss at the LOS and get to the second level where he can use his suddenness and cut ability to pick up big yardage. High level contact balance at his size. He can absorb contact and keep his feet moving to maintain forward momentum and run through tacklers. Runs hard with good pad level to deliver the contact and pick up tough yardage between the tackles. Long strider in space that has some burst to breakaway. He’s ran for over 1,000 yards in both his freshman and sophomore seasons and is ranked in the top 100 overall in the 2027 PRZ state rankings.
