Iowa State’s Gavin Schieler is a blue-chip snap specialist with power potential
Gavin Schieler enters the 2026 season as Iowa State’s redshirt freshman long snapper, listed at 6-4, 223, and brings legit upside from a strong high-school résumé: Kohl’s rated him a 4.5-star snapper, and he hit 11 of 12 charted snaps with a .7-second average at a 2024 showcase. His frame, snap speed, and ability to contribute as a tight end in high school make him more than just a hidden special-teams cog—he’s the kind of size-and-precision prospect coaches love. The catch: he’s still behind veteran starter Drew Clausen on the depth chart, so 2026 is about development and readiness.
