2021: Redshirted

Coach Aaron Best on Schwake: “Shane is big, large and massive, and you can’t teach that size. He had multiple opportunities to see where his fit was, but chose Eastern. A lot of that had to do with Coach (Jase) Butorac and the way he recruited Shane and will coach Shane. They’ll make some memories together. Shane was excited about the tradition and legacy of our offensive line over the years. The vision here has been in place for a long time, and the reality was that Shane was intrigued. He’ll play outside as a tackle for us, and is a player who has ability and some good raw talent. Coach Butorac is truly excited to coach him.”
