Stonehill LB Dean Schmitt: Early-Season Tackler With Room to Grow
Dean Schmitt is a 6'0", 220-pound sophomore linebacker for Stonehill who has already logged tackles in 2026, including two against Bryant, after not seeing game action in 2025.[12] The appeal here is the frame, the downhill LB build, and the fact that he’s already cracking the rotation; that usually signals a player coaches trust to hit, fit, and learn fast.[10][12] He looks like a useful depth-and-development fit for a team that values toughness, special-teams juice, and a willing worker rather than a finished product.[12][13]
