Originally, Schuster was recruited by former Syracuse offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh. After he left for Arizona State, the Orange hired Mike Schmidt as his replacement. Schmidt and Schuster quickly bonded, and that played a role in Schuster's decision.
“We have a really good relationship and I think that’s a big part of why I chose Syracuse,” Schuster said. “He’s a great guy and we clicked right away and I trust what he says and he believes in my skill set as a player so I think that was a huge factor.”
When Schuster returned home from his June official, he knew Syracuse was going to be the choice. Syracuse was the only power five school who offered despite limited junior film. That meant a lot to the 6-6 tackle.
“It means a lot,” Schuster said. “They were one of the first schools that offered me and the fact that they’ve offered me that long ago and believed in me the whole time from then to now is great.”
What can Syracuse fans expect from Schuster?
“Syracuse fans can expect a kid who’s going to come in and work hard the day I get on campus, to the day I graduate and do anything in my power to make myself and my team better,” Schuster said.
