Tom Scherr brings a multi-sport edge and upside to UNI's linebacker room
Scherr enters the 2026 season as a young, 6-foot-3, 195-pound linebacker for UNI who has not yet seen game action in college, but his high school resume suggests real athletic upside: at Wahlert Catholic, he was a first-team all-state wide receiver, an all-district special teams MVP, and a standout multi-sport athlete. In the 2025 season, he redshirted or otherwise did not appear in a game, so the key story is projection—speed, ball skills, and toughness rather than proven stats.
