It isn’t often that an NFL team makes signing an undrafted free agent from a relatively small Division II program a clear priority.
But that’s just what the New York Giants signaled when they signed Kutztown University offensive tackle Ryan Schernecke to a fully guaranteed $282,500 contract ($247,500 base salary, $35 thousand signing bonus) almost as soon as the 2026 NFL Draft was done.

Kutztown went 14-1 last year, with their only loss coming in the semifinals of the Division II championship tournament.

It remains to be seen how he’ll make the leap from the PSAC to the NFL, but Schernecke has the traits to at least be an intriguing developmental offensive tackle.

Ryan Schernecke started 43 games during his college career at Kutztown University.
