| Solid pass-catching tight end, Scheffler is able to aggressively position himself for the ball and make the tough catch. Smallish at tight end, he rarely lined up next to the offensive tackle. Has blocking ability, but not a powerful blocker. |
| Biography: |
| Tony has been a maninstay on the Broncos starting offense since the 2002 season.
Last season he returned to the lineup follwoing a season that was wiped out early in 2003 when his shoulder was injured on a play at Michigan State in the first game of the season. Tony held on to the 40-yard pass from Chad Munson.
In 2004 he started 10 of the 11 games he played in and was the team's 2nd leading reciever. He caught 53 passes for 570 yard and 3 touchdowns. His 53 receptions led all tight ends in the MAC and set a new WMU record for a season. He caught six or more passes against Marshall(11), Northern Illinois(8), BGSU(7), BSU(6) and he had 5 against Miami. His 11 receptions and 133 yards against Marshall was a career day for Tony.

In 2002 his first career touchdown reception came on just his third catch as a Bronco and went for 18 yards from Chad Munson. His first collegiate reception came in front of 107,856 fans at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, MI. Buffalo had a hard time stopping him on kickoffs as he returned two kickoffs for 46 yards.
