Position of Need

The Noles absolutely needed offensive tackles in this recruiting class after struggling to land quality ones last recruiting cycle.

Schrader gives the Noles its second offensive tackle in this class with Lloyd Wright committing Saturday night.

I don’t expect Schrader to be an early contributor as most offensive linemen need a year to redshirt and continue maturing physically.

He has a nice frame and should be able to put on some solid muscle and gain strength. He’s not a mauler but plays with solid technique.

I think he’ll be a player for the Noles after spending a couple of years in the FSU strength and conditioning program.

The Noles have met their minimum for offensive tackles this recruiting cycle which is huge.
