24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Gabe Schroeder – Little Rock Christian

Little Rock Christian senior Gabe Schroeder is a true leader for the Warriors, ready to cap off his high school career with a memorable season. He was drawn to football by his brothers, always watching them and “playing with them in the front yard.”

“Gabe is an elite, all-around playmaker who can excel at virtually any skill position,” Head Coach Dustin Grimmett said. 

Last year, he was a standout at safety, recording 100 tackles, 45 of those solo, along with three interceptions. The performance was recognized with All-State honors. “He also made valuable contributions as a wide receiver, punter and punt returner,” the coach said. This season, he expects Schroeder to be “a difference-maker in all three phases of the game. Opposing teams will need to account for him at all times.”

Schroeder and the Warriors made it to the state championship his sophomore season. He also battled through adversity as a freshman, breaking his collarbone and missing the entire season. “I got through it and leaned on God the whole time,” he said. 

Off the field, Schroeder is a high-character young man. “He puts his faith first,” Grimmett said. “He actively serves at his local church, regularly volunteering in children’s ministry and helping with tech support.” Schroeder recently traveled to Costa Rica “to serve people in need.” 

“His humility, work ethic and genuine kindness set him apart,” Grimmett said.

Schroeder is also an All-State performer at soccer for the Warriors. He enjoys golf and plans to play college football or soccer.
