Steve Schrum joined the Orange staff as a recruiting quality control assistant in October 2016. Schrum assists Director of Recruiting Operations Asil Mulbah in helping attract the best possible talent to Syracuse.

Schrum came to Syracuse from Akron where he served as the Zips assistant recruiting coordinator for the majority of the 2016 football season. Schrum managed Akron’s recruiting database, oversaw unofficial visit operations, screened high school prospects and completed expense reports, travel itineraries and compliance forms.

Prior to working at Akron, Schrum was the recruiting assistant at Northwestern from March 2015 to August 2016. His duties included screening prospects from the Northeast, parts of the Midwest, and helping to administer the walk-on program. Before that, Schrum served as the assistant recruiting coordinator at Towson from August 2014 to March 2015.

In 2014, Schrum worked alongside Orange tight ends coach Reno Ferri, who was a Towson assistant coach and the program’s recruiting coordinator at the time. Schrum and Ferri were responsible for landing the No. 1 recruiting class in the Colonial Athletic Association that year, according to 247Sports.com. In addition, Schrum facilitated gameday recruiting operations for the Tigers, oversaw student recruiting interns and planned official visits.

Schrum got his start in player personnel and recruiting by working as a personnel intern for the Baltimore Ravens for three summers (2010, 2012, 2014). He created scouting depth charts, managed the NFL roster board for GM Ozzie Newsome and assisted with football analytics.

While attending the University of Florida, Schrum interned for the Gators and was the assistant to wide receivers coach Joker Phillips from 2012-14. Among his responsibilities were managing Phillips’ Twitter account and creating scouting reports on the defenses of UF’s opponents.

Schrum earned his bachelor’s degree in U.S. history and political science from Florida in 2014.
