Standing at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, Schreiber was verbally committed to since June 25. He hasn't received much interest from many other schools, but Minnesota hosted him on an officialy visit on September 27 during the team's thrilling win over Rutgers. He was officially offered shortly after. He then was pursued by Indiana with an offer and visit, before officially flipping from the Cougars to Gophers on Monday night.

The latest 247Sports Composite ranks Schreiber as the 1,693rd-best recruit in the class of 2026. He's the 141st-ranked offensive tackle and the No. 11 player in Wisconsin. He joins the state's top player Gavin Meier as the second Wisconsin offensive lineman to join Minnesota's class.

Early national signing day is right around the corner in the first week of December, and Scheiber was the third 2026 recruit to verbally commit to Minnesota on Monday. They now have 27 prospects and the class, which ranks as the 29th-best group in the country, according to 247Sports.
