A physical Butler TE with special-teams toughness and upside
Schmidlkofer enters the 2025 season as a redshirt junior tight end for Butler after playing in nine games in 2024, mostly on special teams, and he brings a sturdy 6'2", 235-pound frame with a background as a three-time first-team all-county and all-region high school standout. His value right now is less about box-score production and more about reliability, toughness, and a workmanlike profile that coaches typically trust in the dirty jobs—blocking, covering kicks, and doing the unglamorous stuff well. If you want a gritty, versatile role player with room to grow, he fits that mold.
