ROCK ISLAND– Griffin Schuster, a multi-sport standout from North Boone High School in Poplar Grove, has announced that he’ll be continuing his education as well as his athletic career at Augustana. He will enroll in the fall and join Coach Steve Bell’s Viking football program.

Schuster earned a total of 11 varsity letters in four sports during his high school years.

A three-year letter winner on the gridiron, the 6,’ 160-pound Schuster was a versatile performer for Coach Aaron Sullivan’s Vikings, logging time at wide receiver, quarterback, strong safety and cornerback, as well as returning kicks. He was a two-time unanimous All-Big Northern Conference selection.

As a senior, Schuster accounted for over 1,000 all-purpose yards. He had 250 yards and two touchdowns on 40 rushing attempts, caught 22 passes for 268 yards and four scores and threw for 100 yards and another touchdown. He also had a touchdown each on a punt and kickoff return. He was a first team All-Area selection on defense by the Beloit Daily News.

As a junior, Schuster rushed for over 300 yards and had 424 yards and eight touchdowns on 31 receptions for a North Boone playoff qualifier. He was named all-area honorable mention on offense.

Schuster earned his first varsity baseball letter at Illini West High School in Carthage, Illinois, before adding three more at North Boone. He was also a three-year basketball letter winner, earning all-conference honorable mention. He lettered once in track and field as well.

Griffin is the son of John and Jeri Schuster of Poplar Grove. A four-year member of North Boone’s high honor roll and a National Honor Society inductee, he is planning on majors in business administration and communication studies at Augustana.

Schuster joins a Viking program with an outstanding tradition that includes four NCAA Division III national championships, 21 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin titles, 23 CCIW Players of the Year and 32 Academic All-America selections. Bell, who has compiled a 116-50 record in 16 years as a collegiate head coach, will be in his second season at Augustana in 2016.
