Adam Schobel De-Commits from Baylor and Pledges to the Pokes

STILLWATER – Columbus, Texas quarterback Adam Schobel posted on Twitter/X on Monday (April 22) that he has de-committed from Baylor University and will now be heading to Oklahoma State for college. The 6-5, 204 pound Schobel, who plays for his father Matt Schobel as his head coach led the Columbus Cardinals to a 24-3 record overall and a 7-1 district record the past two seasons. He was the District 12-3A-I Co-Offensive MVP last season. Schobel has thrown for 5,200-yards the last two seasons and 66 touchdown passes. He has been pledged to Baylor since June of 2023. 

“It was the hardest phone call I’ve had to make,” Schobel told Pokes Report.

Schobel had told Pokes Report that part of the reason that he took the visit to Oklahoma State back on April 5-7 was the coaches that had recruited him to Baylor and especially Shawn Bell had left the Bears staff. Bell is currently the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator on Willie Fritz staff at the University of Houston.

The visit to Stillwater and spending time with the Oklahoma State staff including head coach Mike Gundy and quarterbacks coach Tom Rattay gave him so much to think about. Schobel and his family had a good visit to Oklahoma State. Schobel told us coming off that visit that he was very impressed with everything and Oklahoma State had given him a lot to think about. Thinking turned into a decision.
