Texas S Brenden Schooler feels more comfortable on defense

The long, winding football journey of Texas Longhorns super senior safety Brenden Schooler has now come full circle.

A two-sport and occasional two-way standout at several different high schools in Dana Point, California, Schooler signed with Oregon as a defensive back in the 2016 recruiting class after recording 91 tackles and three interceptions as a senior.

Lightly regarded as a low three-star prospect barely ranked inside the top 2,000 players nationally, Schooler quickly made an impact in Eugene, starting 10 games as a true freshman and finishing third on the team with 74 tackles while ranking third among all FBS true freshmen with four interceptions.
