Redshirt year at Ohio State. Then he transferred to Cincinnati last year and had to sit out the year. In December, 2016, Cincinnati hired Luke Fickell as its new head coach -- Fickell had been the Ohio State Defensive Coordinator/Associate Head Coach. I'm not sure of the impact of the Cincinnati head coach hire but Schmidt decided to leave that program. Looks like he will be sitting out this season at SDSU unless the rules permit him to play because of the change in head coach at Cincinnati. It remains to be seen whether he can play college football -- he has the physical attributes but time will tell if he has the desire.
Go Jackrabbits!
