Tackling-First Drake LB with Proven Big-Play Instincts
Jeff Schieber was a productive linebacker for Drake, showing the kind of field awareness and physicality that coaches love in the middle of a defense. In Drake’s 2004 football media guide, he was credited with 7 tackles for loss, a strong indicator of disruptive play rather than just cleanup tackling, and he also showed ball-hawking ability with an interception listed in game notes. Bottom line: Schieber looks like a high-motor, instinctive defender who can fit a disciplined system that values run support, downhill aggression, and quick reaction speed.
