Orange's Treyton Schroeder wins fan vote for top high school football DB in central Ohio

Olentangy Orange junior Treyton Schroeder is the fans' choice for the top high school football defensive back in central Ohio. He finished first in a Dispatch poll that accompanied our look at the top 10 DBs in the Columbus area .

Schroeder received 13,726 of 25,596 votes (53.63%). Grandview Heights' Owen Nugent finished second with 5,724 votes (22.36%) and Olentangy's Kaden Gebhardt was third with 5,106 (19.95%).

Schroeder, the nephew of first-year Orange coach Wesley Schroeder, had 34 ½ tackles, seven interceptions and one sack last season. The seven interceptions matched the program record, and he set a single-game program record with two in one game. He was first-team all-district and all-OCC-Central and third-team all-state in Division I .

Orange opens its season Friday night against visiting Marysville. It then plays three consecutive road games – Aug. 30 at Westerville North, Sept. 6 at Hilliard Darby and Sept. 13 at Gahanna Lincoln – before hosting Olentangy Berlin on Sept. 20.

The Pioneers begin OCC-Central play Sept. 27 against visiting Hilliard Davidson. The rest of their league schedule is Oct. 4 at Dublin Coffman, Oct. 11 vs. Upper Arlington, Oct. 18 at Hilliard Bradley and Oct. 25 vs. Olentangy Liberty.
