Not going out on a limb, I know, but this is pretty cool, yes?

From walk-on to cult hero, one of college ball’s most colorful personalities is also one of its best fullbacks due to his devastating strength, blistering speed and the relentless desire to block opponents back into last season.

And not that anyone had any doubt, but he needed very little time to introduce himself in Seattle.

During a run drill, his kick-out block on safety C.J. Wallace allowed rookie running back Justin Forsett to cut behind it and get into the secondary. On the very next play, the handoff when to Schmitt, and rookie linebacker David Hawthorne went to turf after bouncing off the 247-pound fullback as he powered through the line.

That, in two quick snaps, is what Schmitt brings – tenacious blocking, a tough-guy attitude and some power. At least on offense. We’ll all have to wait until the preseason games this summer to see what kind of impact he can have on special teams.
