Early career
editSchram attended Paul Rowe High School in Manning, Alberta, but since the school did not have a football program, he played at Peace River High for the Pioneers.[1] Following graduation, he moved on to play U Sports football with the Calgary Dinos from 2013 to 2016.[2] He started in 31 games for the Dinos while being named a 2015 First Team All-Canadian.[3][4]
Professional career
editHamilton Tiger-Cats
editSchram was ranked as the 16th best player available in the 2017 CFL Draft by the CFL's Central Scouting Bureau.[5] He was then selected by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with the 13th overall selection in the draft and signed with the team on May 24, 2017.[2] He dressed in his first professional game on August 12, 2017 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers while spending the rest of the 2017 season on the reserve roster and practice roster. In 2018, he spent the first two games of the season on the injured list before being released on June 28, 2018, reportedly due to the depth that the team had at his position.[4][6]
Saskatchewan Roughriders
editSoon after his release from Hamilton, Schram was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders on July 3, 2018.[7] He dressed in the final two games of the regular season as well as the West Semi-Final loss to the Blue Bombers. He saw more playing time during the 2019 season as he dressed in 10 regular season games as a back-up offensive lineman. He signed a one-year contract extension with the Roughriders on December 19, 2020, but with the 2020 CFL season cancelled, it was announced on December 15, 2020, that he had been signed to another one-year extension with the team.[8][9] He retired from football on June 21, 2021.[10]
