Sam Schwartzstein (born July 7, 1989) is an American football center who played for Stanford University, who also plays guard. He is 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall, and weighs 292 pounds (132 kg).
Schwartzstein played college football at Stanford for the Stanford Cardinal. He was a candidate for the 2013 NFL Draft in late April 2013.
Schwartzstein is Jewish, and his hometown is Southlake, Texas. His father formerly owned a tire dealership.
He attended Carroll High School. As a junior playing left tackle, he helped the Carroll Dragons to 16–0 record and the Texas Class 5A state title, and as a senior he helped the team to an 11–2 record. He was Associated Press second team All-State and first team All-District as a senior in 2007. He was ranked the # 52 offensive guard nationally by Scout.com. He was named All-Midwest Region for the Class of 2008 by PrepStar.
Schwartzstein had at least eight scholarship offers upon graduating high school, including Stanford, Purdue, and Colorado State. Scout.com's Texas analyst wrote that he:
uses position and leverage to make the plays on the field.... he is quick on the attack, and gets his hands inside the defender; he has enough pop in his hands and arms to not only control the defender but at times to knock him down... he gets the initial contact and the ability to control the situation. Second, he is aggressive in nature and will follow the defender downfield and look for a second block up field... He has good footwork... He is a highly developed tackle prospect... Overall, he is a very good offensive line prospect who plays smart, intelligent football.
He worked out at the 2007 Dallas NIKE Combine in March 2007, executing the 20-yard shuttle in 4.69, performing 24 reps in the bench press, and doing a vertical leap of 24.9".
