6-1, 251...one of four returnees on what many consider to be the best group of linebackers in college football...is unquestionably the "free spirit" on the team and has fun in all that he does...enjoys pushing the envelope (has gone wild boar hunting with dogs and knife in Texas)...grew up in Texas and has always enjoyed the outdoors.

In high school, he lettered four years in wrestling and three in football...all-district selection twice on the gridiron...third-team all-state and all-area as a senior in football...was the AAU and state heavyweight champion in wrestling as a junior, was the runner up as a senior at the state meet...attended a year of prep school at the Air Force Academy...played football and was the team's defensive player of the year.

A two-year letterman with the Buckeyes (2004-05), Schlegel earned all-Big Ten honors for the Fiesta Bowl and Big Ten champions and played in the East-West Shrine all-star game.

Schlegel began his college career at the United States Air Force Academy, where he was a freshman All-American in 2001 and earned all-Mountain West recognition as a sophomore captain in 2002.

Playing middle linebacker with A.J. Hawk and Bobby Carpenter on either side of him, Schlegel recorded 166 tackles in his two seasons with the Buckeyes, ranking third on the team with 84 as a junior and second with 82 as a senior.

Schlegel started his own strength training business, Schlegel's Hardcore Elite Training, in Texas prior to coming back to Ohio State in 2011 as a strength coach.

Schlegel was born in Iowa but grew up in Highland Park, Texas. He was a high school state wrestling champion and a junior national champion, as well as a Class 4A all-state linebacker. He set world dead-lift age group records (U19) twice in power lifting.
