Yale’s blue-collar LB who made his mark on heart, special teams, and hustle
Nick Schneider’s Yale profile shows a classic high-IQ, high-effort linebacker: a Cincinnati St. Xavier product who was a four-year varsity starter in high school, then embraced a depth-role and special-teams identity at Yale. Yale’s own features describe him as a competitor who never quit on his role, backed up a captain, and brought consistent intensity even without a headline-grabbing starting job. He looks like the kind of player coaches trust for toughness, reliability, and locker-room edge rather than flash.
