Top 100 Players of 2017 – #39 – Porter Schmidt

PORTER SCHMIDT

 Blaine – Senior – #54

5’10” 210 lbs – OL/DL


One of the hardest workers in the county. In 2016 Schmidt was a strong 240-pound junior lineman that had a great season. Over the summer you could see him jogging through Blaine with what looked like a backpack filled with rocks or various heavy objects, and he transformed his body. Incredibly strong and durable, the Borderite senior lost about 30 pounds, but his strength was still there. It’s hard to be noticed at guard and defensive tackle, but those bright orange sleeves helped. He was named All-Conference 2nd Team at defensive line.
