\"I remember my grandma saying that when I was a baby, every time football came on the screen I got super excited,\" Schiele said. \"It just fills me with joy. For somebody to make money being around sports and to get paid for that…to me, that sounds like a dream come true.

Schiele has covered a wide variety of sporting events in and outside his school through GSTV, Georgia State University’s student-run television station. He started as a volunteer reporter and was later hired as a team leader of the show “Primetime Sportz,” he said.

Schiele has reported on football, hockey, basketball, men's and women's baseball, volleyball, professional wrestling, NCAA and NASCAR tournaments. He also did a story about a women's professional football team, for which he won the award for Best Television Journalist at the Southeast Journalism Conference in 2016.

But with graduation approaching, Schiele is vying for a job at a big news organization.

My pleasure. You’re miles ahead of where I was coming out of college.

Stay “you.” Your storytelling instincts and personality will distinguish you in a business in which it’s very difficult to stand out. Keep killing it.

Schiele has not received any official offers yet, but he said that he’s in contact with recruiters.

He hopes to inspire other college students to \"put yourself out there.\"

\"You have to find something about you that's going to stand out,\" he said. \"Like my mentor says, all you need is one \"yes.\" When you get that one yes, continue to work hard and don't let anybody tell you that you are not good enough and can't do something. Keep your head forward and keep challenging yourself in getting better.\"
