veteran Idaho defensive lineman with proven versatility and deep-team value
In the 2017 season, Will Schmidt was a senior defensive lineman at Idaho listed at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, and he had already logged action in five games in 2016 after years of position flexibility across the line and even tight end early in his career[1][3]. That kind of multi-year, multi-role background usually signals a dependable, coachable piece rather than a flashy stat-sheet guy, and his value is more about sturdiness, experience, and knowing how to fit into a defensive front than headline-grabbing production[1][2][3].
