Purdue first to offer Zionsville (Ind.) 2028 TE Theo Schott who earned scholarship in camp

Zionsville (Ind.) High 2028 tight end Theo Schott earned his first scholarship offer from Purdue after attending camp in West Lafayette.

There is a lot of buzz regarding the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Schott in the Indianapolis area and Barry Odom and the Boilers are getting a head start on the trail.

“All the new coaches are really nice and real,” Schott told On3. “All the facilities are nice and it’s a great atmosphere.”

Purdue’s offensive coordinator/tight ends coach Josh Henson spent a lot of time with Schott at camp.

“The conversations I had were very good and down to earth,” Schott said. “We didn’t just talk about football but also personal connections like what we do in our free time and talks about our family. Even just being with the coach for an hour and a half, I felt like I got better at the camp.”

Odom, Henson and the Boilers look forward to getting to know Schott better this fall.

Theo Schott has the traits coveted to be a major prospect

This summer, Schott has also camped at Indiana and it won’t be long before he’s on many more college staffs’ radars moving forward.

“He capitalized on a great opportunity at camp to get the recruiting started,” Zionsville head coach Scott Turnquist said. “Theo has a great work ethic and attitude. He always is looking for ways to improve and he’s always pushing himself in the weight room and in practice so that he can perform on the field.”

Schott is primed for a breakout sophomore campaign.

“He also has great versatility and is willing to do anything that’s needed for the team to be successful,” Turnquist said. “We have the ability to line him up in a variety of places and in a variety of positions because of that versatility and his ability to understand concepts. 

“I think he’s just scratching the surface right now and those things are going to carry him to be able to maximize what he can do in the future.”
