High School and College
Schrom graduated from Grangeville High School in 1973, where he won 11 athletic letters and was an all-state selection in football, basketball, and baseball. Selected in the tenth round of the 1973 MLB amateur draft by the Minnesota Twins, he opted for college and accepted a scholarship to the University of Idaho to pitch for the baseball team and play quarterback on the Vandal football team. Schrom was the back-up QB as a redshirt sophomore in 1975, coached by offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson under head coach Ed Troxel. An excellent pure passer, he had to forego spring football practice to play baseball. After hurting his left shoulder in football, he did not want to hurt his right and turned pro after his junior year of baseball.
He completed his degree in education in increments during the baseball off-season and graduated in 1980.
