No matter who won, Cal was guaranteed to have two Super Bowl Champions.
Schwenke wore the blue and gold from 2009–12, playing in 48 of 50 possible games. In his final three years, he started 36 of the 37 games; these starts came at all three interior positions of the line (left guard, center, and right guard). For his final season in Berkeley, Schwenke started at guard and was named to various All-Pac-12 first- and second-teams. His own team honored him in that year by selecting him to win the offense’s Brick Mueller Award (recognizing the Most Valuable Lineman) and the Cort Majors Team Captain Award.
