Stephen Dana Schilling (born July 21, 1988) is a former

Washington for the Bellevue High School Wolverines
football team where he played on three state champion teams.

Born and raised in

Pacific-10 Conference football teams and University of Michigan
, he decided to attend Michigan.

At Michigan, he redshirted as a true Freshman and then started the following year. When the team transitioned from head coach Lloyd Carr to Rich Rodriguez during his redshirt sophomore season, he became one of the few experienced players to endure the change. He has since anchored the offensive line composed of less experienced players. He was honored as the 2008 Michigan Wolverines football team's best offensive lineman as a redshirt sophomore before being nationally recognized as a Lombardi Award watchlist candidate in 2009. He was selected as a 2009 and 2010 All-Big Ten Conference honorable mention. He was a 2010 Outland Trophy watch list candidate.

He was drafted by the

2011 NFL Draft. He began his NFL career on the practice squad. He was activated prior to week 8 of the 2011 NFL season (his rookie year), and played in several subsequent games for the team. He has also played for the Seattle Seahawks
. He announced his retirement on April 2, 2015.

High school

When Schilling was young, he was too large to play organized football with kids his own age because Bellevue's youth leagues were regulated by weight-age limits, which caused him to take up

Qwest Field by a 39–20 score.[8]

Early in his junior season, he got his first scholarship offer from the

points/game during his junior season.[19] At the end of his junior year he was named the number 25 football prospect in the nation and the number three offensive tackle by Rivals.com.[19][20] In July prior to his senior season, he was included in a Reebok Western All-American list in Sports Illustrated.[21]

Early in his senior season, running a

All-American.[3] Schilling did not play basketball during his senior year to avoid the risk of injury.[35]

Although he was highly recruited during the season, he decided not to make his decision until after the season ended.[36] He scheduled visits with the Cal Bears and USC Trojans and anticipated visits with the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies. Those were the four schools he was seriously considering.[37] He eventually changed his visit dates, but the final four contenders remained the same.[38] By the time he was to make his final decision he had 20 scholarship offers.[2] In his final week of consideration, he eliminated USC from contention and had home visits from the other three finalists during the week.[39] He made his final selection in what has become a traditional recruit announcement technique by using the schools' caps in front of his extended family, including his mother who is named Joanne and a sister.[4][29] He also has an Aunt Lydia Schilling.[40]

College

2007 Michigan Wolverines huddle with Mario Manningham (86), Ryan Mallett (15), Mike Hart (20), Jake Long (77, behind Hart), Adrian Arrington (16), Mike Massey (83), Justin Boren (65), Carson Butler (85), and Schilling (partially in view on right) (52).

Schilling did not arrive in

mononucleosis.[41] This caused him to miss several weeks of practice.[42] In late October, he decided to redshirt and have a second shoulder surgery after having missed weeks of practice and lost much weight.[3][43] As part of his transition from a Wing T offense that rarely passed, Schilling had to work on improving his pass blocking.[3][44]

Michigan – Ohio State rivalry
game.

He earned the starting right tackle position in a battle with Mark Ortmann and Perry Dorrestein at the start of the

rivalry game against Ohio State was a prime example of his lack of experience with pass blocking. He had difficulties pass blocking against Vernon Gholston, who posted three quarterback sacks.[50]

With the departure of

Offensive line injuries continued to affect the lineup through the early part of the season with David Molk (center), David Moosman (right guard) and Schilling (right tackle) being the only players to start each of the first four games.[54] Even Schilling was a bit injured, causing him to be handled delicately during practice.[55] In the first five games, the team used four different starting offensive line combinations due to injuries.[56] For much of the season, Rodriguez' offense started six freshmen.[57] By the seventh game the line returned to full strength and used the opening day lineup.[58] In the week before the last game of the season against Ohio State, Schilling injured his knee in practice.[59] As a result, he did not play in the final game.[60] Nonetheless, he was honored by the team at the end of the season as the team's best offensive lineman.[61] The young offense had all but one of its starters returning for the following season.[62]

Zoltan Mesko (38).[63] He switched to left guard from right tackle in 2009.[64] In the Ohio State game, he was notable for losing a shoe during the game and trying to play without it.[65] He was recognized as an honorable mention 2009 All-Big Ten Conference selection by both the coaches and the media.[66]

As a fifth-year senior, Stephen Schilling was watchlisted for the

lineman.[67] He was also, elected co-captain and participated in a season long fanmail program where he responded to Michigan fan questions made by email and on Facebook every Friday.[68] Following the Big Ten Conference season, he was selected as an honorable mention All-Conference selection by both the coaches and the media.[69][70][71] Following the season, he participated in the 2011 Senior Bowl.[72] During Schilling's senior season, Denard Robinson had a record-setting season on offense: he broke Drew Brees' Big Ten single-season total offense record of 4,189 yards.[73] Robinson fell 116 yards short of Tim Biakabutuka's Michigan school record of 1,818 rushing yards. However, he led the conference in both total offense and rushing yards per game.[74]
