Lincoln QB Brody Schafer’s success built off bond with brothers

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.-- You would think that having both his parents and both of his brothers play collegiate sports would have added a weight of expectation on Brody Schafer’s shoulders. But where some may have felt a burden, the Sioux Falls Lincoln quarterback, a senior, felt momentum. “They pushed me. But it was kind of me who did the pushing,” said Schafer. Schafer will wrap up an impressive high school career on Saturday when his Sioux Falls Lincoln Patriots take on the top-ranked team in the state, Sioux Falls Jefferson, for the 11AAA title. He has led the Patriots to the title game in each of his three years as a starter, winning the state championship in 2024 while earning various All-State and Player of the Year honors in both seasons. Brody’s older brother Tate, now playing quarterback for the University of Sioux Falls, also led Sioux Falls Lincoln to a state title in his senior season.
