Oregon seniors Ryan Schmid (left) and Joey Harrington walked with their graduating class in June and will be done once the season ends.
Blocking his own spotlight
Offensive lineman Ryan Schmid would rather credit
his faith and his star team mates than himself
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Dangling from his neck is a
tiny gold cross. Sitting
quite snug upon his head,
turned backward, is a
sweat-stained Denver Broncos hat.
More often than not, if you see
Ryan Schmid, he’s wearing both
items — unless it’s on the playing
field on Saturdays or in church on
Sundays. In those cases, the hat’s got
to go, but otherwise he’s loyal to it.
This hat has been above his fore
head for years. Even before he went
to high school in Lake Oswego, he
had the hat. All through the prep
years and into the college days, the
white (now partially browij) Bron
cos cap has remained perched atop
his head.
And that cross is always just a few
inches below.
“I feel naked without them,”
Schmid said.
The two items are the perfect
barometers to get to know and un
derstand who Schmid is and what
he stands for.
If all you know of him is his 6-foot
r
4,282-pound frame blocking on the
Oregon offensive line for the “stars”
of the Ducks, then you know exactly
what he wants you to know.
He notices the kind of constant at
tention that Joey Harrington, Mau
rice Morris and Rashad Bauman get
around town, and he doesn’t want
any of that.
“I can’t imagine how the house
hold-name guys do it,” Schmid
said. “Everyone knows exactly who
you are anywhere you go. That’s one
of the reasons I love being an offen
sive lineman. Nobody knows who
you are and people stare at you only
because you ’re big. ”
But look closer at Ryan Schmid.
See the college-aged group he
leads on Sundays at Calvary Fel
lowship on West Amazon.
See the grade point average of
3.95 in business administration that
led him to be honored as a first-team
Verizon Academic All-America se
lection last season.
See the unmatchable work ethic
on the practice field that sometimes
stops teammates in their tracks to
marvel at him.
See the weights being lifted over
and over in the weight room, in
cluding a 375-pound bench press,
before offensive line coach Neal
Zoumboukos has to practically drag
him away.
And see the devotion in his eye
when he speaks about what he
plans on doing when his football
days end after this season.
“I want to do urban ministry and
reach as many people as I can
through that,” Schmid said. “I felt
that if I were to be Christian, then it
needed to be something I would do
full-time. I had a strong conviction
that I would use my business and
leadership skills I’ve learned through
school and football for ministry.”
Rock of faith
There are many sides to Schmid
the person, but faith is his backbone
and where his loyalty runs deepest.
In his jar of life, faith is the biggest -
rock; everything else fits in around it.
“Through my faith, I’m given a
constant that allows me to always
have joy and peace,” Schmid said. “A
