A 2019 first team all-WIAC pick, Schlegel tied for the team lead in pass break-ups with seven and was third in the WIAC in passes defended with 12. He forced one fumble, recovered a fumble and scored a two-point defensive extra-point when he took a lateral the distance. 

In 2018, Schlegel was selected WIAC defensive player of the week and to D3football.com team of the week after recording 10 tackles, four solo, had two pass breakups and his second interception of the season in a 26-20 win over UW-Eau Claire on Sept. 29, 2018.
