Big-frame Bulldogs lineman with blue-collar upside
Frank Schmidt is a redshirt freshman offensive lineman for The Citadel in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds after arriving from Porter-Gaud School, where he earned Lineman of the Year honors, two All-State selections, and all-star game invites. His appeal is the classic tackle profile: long, young, and still filling out, with enough pedigree to suggest real developmental ceiling. He’s a fit for teams that value size, patience, and long-term projection over instant polish—an old-school trench project with a sneaky-high ceiling.
