    If you like Carlo, you'll like Joe Schmidt. He was the captain of the Mater Dei Monarchs. Here he is in action against some of the best teams in California...

    The kid's got a good name. Wasn't Joe Schmidt the legendary Lions player, a linebacker, or did he play another position?

    I think you're right. Joe Schmidt was a great Lion's LB. I think this kid uses his full name: Joseph Schmidt.

    Schmidt was not only an outstanding LB but he was a pretty good HC by Lion standards.
    You have to pull for a kid like this who could have gotten a free ride somewhere else but chooses to walk on at a school he really wants to go to. I bet he'll be a monster in practice.

    I agree, he's the next Mike Anello or Tim O'Neil guys who walked on and fought their way onto the field doing what ever is necessary to get a little playing time. Pat Dillingham was a preferred walk-on.

    I'll look forward to seeing how his career goes for him.
