University of Michigan Men's Rowing Team

Senior Shoutout #1
Jaiden Schraut
6’3
185lbs
To sum up Jaiden in a senior shoutout is not an easy task. I’ve heard him aptly compared to a mysterious yet successful cousin straight out of Crazy Rich Asians. He’s enigmatic, seemingly nonchalant and yet successful at whatever he sets his mind to. He can often be seen sauntering around with a pair of sunglasses on and that classic Doobie smirk. In the Barracks, seeing Doob was like spotting a tiger in the jungles of Nepal – a rare sighting of some magnificent creature.
On the water, Jaiden is an unsolved mystery. Despite shall we say explosive erg tests, his efficiency and length led him to many victories, both over teammates (myself included) and countless other teams (I’m pretty sure he has the most betting shirts of any Michigan rower ever). Whenever a boat was not going well, you could count on Doob to take a glance at the oars behind him, smile to himself and shake his head, enjoying a private joke at the expense of our questionable rowing. 
Jaiden has a powerful mind, and he put it to work on the water and for our team. He was a mentor and a resource for many of the freshmen, always willing to listen and give his 2 cents (even though he usually resorted to showing us the same video of his 1F from the Bucknell dual (did you know they were up a length off the start?)). I’ll forever cherish our in-depth South Quad lunch conversations covering everything from the fate of my 1F to the future of AI.
Many will remember Jaiden for the great rower that he was. However, I will remember Jaiden for the great friend that he is. For all the 5th gatherings and Barracks Rangfu and spikeball. For his weird “business calls” and 6 AM morning practice Costco podcasts. For innovating new snot rocket techniques and glazing Harry Sanders. While his undying commitment to length and efficiency has certainly affected me, his greatest impact has been as a mentor, a teammate, and a great friend.
