Contents

Early life

Born September 16, 1985, Studebaker grew up in Congerville, Illinois. [3] While in high school, he played football, basketball and track. [3] He was the First-team All-Conference tight end and a unanimous pick at defensive end in 2003 and Team Captain of the football team his senior year. [3]

College career

Following his junior year at Wheaton College in 2006, Studebaker was named a First-team All-American [4] and North Region Defensive Player of the year by D3Football.com. [5] He was also named College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Defensive Player of the Year. [6] He led the conference with 17½ sacks (the most in the NCAA in 2006) [7] and 25½ tackles for loss. [8] Studebaker graduated from Wheaton College in May 2008 with a degree in Applied Health Sciences. [9]
