Unlike most collegiate coaches, Schumann did not play college football. Instead, after graduating high school in Texas, Schumann enrolled at Alabama to be a student assistant under legendary coach Nick Saban in 2008. Reflecting on his time as a student assistant, he said that being a student assistant was, “doing anything that was asked of me.” He graduated from Alabama in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in arts and earned a master's in sports management in 2013.
