Brenden Schooler (born May 30, 1997) is an American football safety and special teamer for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Patriots in 2022.[1] Schooler played college football at Oregon and Texas, where he was both a safety and wide receiver.
College career
Schooler played for four years at Oregon, from 2016 to 2019, where he played both safety and wide receiver. In 2020 he briefly transferred to Arizona, but left after the 2020 Pac-12 football season was cancelled due to the COVID–19 pandemic, transferring to Texas, where he played in 2020 and 2021.[2]
Professional career
At his pro day in Texas, Schooler ran the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.71 seconds.[1] After going undrafted, Schooler was signed by the Patriots in May 2022 to a three-year contract, the standard for undrafted rookies, including a $15,000 signing bonus.[1][3]
2022 season
Schooler was one of two undrafted rookies to make the 2022 team, extending the Patriots' streak of undrafted free agents making the team to 19 seasons.[4]
In the Patriots' Week 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Schooler recovered a muffed punt by former Patriots All-Pro Gunner Olszewski, after the Steelers had only 10 men on the field for the play.[5] The Patriots scored the winning touchdown on the subsequent drive.[6]
