Travers Schmidt brings Cornell safety depth, instinct, and special-teams grit
Travers Schmidt profiles as a versatile Cornell defensive back whose calling card is football IQ, speed, and physicality in support roles. In Cornell’s 2010 preview, coaches highlighted his good speed, athleticism, and excellent instincts, and his 2009 output showed he could make plays in limited action with 11 tackles in four games, including five against Colgate and four against Brown. He also missed the 2010 season due to injury, so durability is part of the evaluation; when healthy, he looks like the kind of steady, high-effort safety who can help a roster with depth and special-teams value.
