Kansas State DE Drew Schmelzle: developmental depth piece with size and upside
Drew Schmelzle is a Kansas State defensive end with intriguing frame and developmental upside, but his current on-field résumé is still very small: he had one tackle in 2023 and did not appear in a game in 2024. Listed at 6-foot-4 and roughly 227 pounds, he looks like a classic projectable edge defender rather than an immediate impact player. If you value size, patience, and long-term development, he’s worth tracking; if you need instant production, he’s still more of a depth-and-growth fit than a ready-made difference-maker.
