Every year at this time of the year sleepers emerge onto the recruiting scene. Lake Dallas defensive end Graysen Schantz fits that description, at least somewhat.
Schantz landed on the radar of a few programs after his junior season that saw him record 83 tackles and 12 sacks. He took it a notch up in 2012 recording 15 sacks (a new school-record) and 33 quarterback hurries.

For his efforts, Schantz was a finalist for the DFW First Down Club Defensive Player of the Year honors which included fellow nominees Sammy Douglas, a TCUcommitment and Cal commit Chad Whitener. The rising prospect was pleased with his senior campaign as he accomplished the goals he set forth prior to the season.

“I thought I did really well and it’s what I wanted it to be,” he said. “I beat the school record for sacks and that was my personal goal. I thought it was a successful season.”

Needless to say, the interest for the 6-foot-3, 240-pounder has picked up substantially after colleges caught a glimpse of his senior season.

“I got a lot of response, a lot of coaches came up and that’s when UTSA offered me,” he said. “OSU came up and talked to me, Tulsa came up and talked to me, and (Texas) A&M came and saw me. I got a bunch of response.

“I have offers from UNM (New Mexico), Air Force, University of North Texas, UTSA, Idaho, UTEP and a couple more. OSU has been talking to me a lot; the defensive coordinator came and talked to me so I think they’re pretty interested. TCU has talked to me too and so hasRice.”

Schantz recently made an official visit to New Mexico and has plans to make officials to Air Force and UT-San Antonio next month. However, he’s not rushing into a decision just yet as he waits to see what other schools come forward with an offer.

“I liked the trip (to New Mexico) a lot but I’m just waiting a little while longer before I do anything,” Schantz said. “I’m open to anything; I want to get some bigger schools involved because I think I can play at that level. We’ll see how everything pans out.”

TCU is among the schools that continue to keep track of Schantz. Although the Frogs haven’t offered, according to Schantz the prospect of an offer does seem promising if the Frogs don’t land other targets on their list.

He sounds solid to me but TCU hasn't offered yet! But as the article states if TCU doesn't get the ones they are after they may offer!

He's not on TCU's short list of big name players but if two don't sign which is a good chance he could end up as a Horned Frog! How many players does TCU have or had that didn't have the big schools after them? First one I can think of is Andy! The list is a little too long for the rest of them!

Not sure I get that he is 100% TCU from that article. Don't really see it saying he wants TCU offer. Just implies it. I am sure he does and why wouldn't he.

I didn't post the last three paragraphs but I think he would love to sign with TCU.


“Oh yeah, I’d definitely go to TCU,” he said. “I’ve been to a few games and I love the atmosphere and I love the campus. They play hard-nosed defense and I like that a lot.”

The school specific web sites tend to ask leading questions in order to get answers that appeal to their audience. Sure, he wants a TCU offer, but I'd be willing to bet that's true of any number of schools as well.

I'm sure he'd say that for every question about possibly choosing a school recruiting him.
What's he supposed to say, "no"?

Your right he doesn't really mean it and went to a few of the games for popcorn. I guess instead of something upbeat you would prefer to read about injuries, license plates, Baylor and Roddog! I'll try to refrain from anything decent. :unsure:

At the banquet he was there with his dad and kid looked closer to 200 than 240, but both he and his dad were very nice to talk to (his dad was about 4" shorter than him). They showed his video and he has a lot of energy on the field, not overly fast but gets a good jump and is relentless. Possible LBer at the next level but needs to work on his speed and cover skills. Think he has some decent offers but a TCU offer I think would be a huge surprise.

Thanks Feisty! Was hoping to hear from you on this kid! He is a work in progress kind of like most of our past LB's. Your right I think he would fit perfect as a LB.


As a Junior, Graysen was new comer of the year in District 5 - 4A.

Cheers !

Hadn't read that thanks for sharing!

5-4A is becoming a holding district. It hasn't been a stable district in 6 years. Boswell was in it for 20 years then went up to 5A twice but kicked them out finally. :tongue:

I believe I read some place that he is about 240. So your you might be correct on the 240.

I've been wondering what the heck happened to Schantz.

Other 2007 grads/Phi Kaps may know who I am talking about.

I really liked the kid's hi light clips. Saw about 3 off Hudl and a couple more. He was the same in all, very quick, relentless and I think he is fast. They don't see it that way tho, or he would have been offerred by now..

Saw where he was listed at 240 one place and 230 another. But he must be bigger than 200 after watching his clips. I have to admit, I had the same thought, that he was a linebacker in college. Has some quick feet. But after watchin' Okie State tear up our LB's this year, it may be we want super fast people, maybe even safties instead of recent big and tough LB's...

Okay. Fair enough. Just wanted to make sure. Sorry to question you.
