Early life
Schoupp was born in Figtree, near Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia. He played junior rugby league for the Thirroul Butchers.[1] He is of Scottish descent.
Playing career
In round 11 of the 2021 NRL season, Schoupp made his first grade debut for Canterbury-Bankstown against the Gold Coast at Robina Stadium. Schoupp made a total of 13 appearances for Canterbury in the 2021 NRL season as the club finished last and claimed the Wooden Spoon.[3]
Controversy
On 25 June 2021, Schoupp was one of three Canterbury players who were ordered to self-isolate after attending a Covid-19 exposure site in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. The NRL had ordered players of all 16 teams a week earlier not to attend any restaurants, clubs or bars in the Waverley Local Government area.[4]
