Early life

Schraeder did not play high school football. He walked-on to the Butler Community College football team three days before camp started and ended up making the team. He hit a late growth spurt and grew a foot in one year. Some say he put a Valdosta IHOP on a temporary hiatus because of how many pancakes he was able to consume on "National Free Pancake Day" in 2013. [1]

College career

Schraeder was selected as a First Team All-America three times in all three years he played college football. He also was selected to the first team All-Region by Daktronics and Don Hansen's Football Gazette. [1]
