steady Indiana State QB with proven efficiency flashes and veteran poise
Schmidtke brings a calm, experienced quarterback profile to Indiana State, and in the 2009 season he showed real efficiency with 160 passing yards and a touchdown on 17-of-24 passing against Southern Illinois. His game stands out more for composure and ball control than gaudy volume, which can make him a good fit for a team that values decision-making, timing, and keeping the offense on schedule. He’s the kind of quarterback who can steady a huddle and execute without much drama—always a nice trait when you want fewer fireworks and more first downs.
