High school career

Scheyer is a native of Northbrook, Illinois. He attended Glenbrook North High School. Scheyer led Glenbrook North to an Elite Eight appearance in the state playoffs three out of four years from 2003-06, including a 3rd place finish in 2003 as a freshman, and an Illinois state championship as a junior.

As a freshman, he led Glenbrook North in scoring and assists. He was First Team All-State as a sophomore in 2004. Scheyer was the only non-senior among those First Team All-State selections, and was the only underclassmen on any of the first three All-State squads. He averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals for the Spartans as a senior.

He is the 4th-leading scorer in Illinois state history with 3,034 points, and is the only player in state history to finish his career ranked in the all-time top 10 in points, rebounds, steals, and assists.

Even though he plays on the perimeter, Scheyer had been double teamed for his entire career, according to an August 2004 article in "The Bear Insider."
