For the past couple of weeks, I have been communicating back and forth with Rubio Long Snapper Gabriel Miller of Nebraska and his mother. Gabe tweaked his back prior to season and was having some issues. I honestly thought it would pass with some good rest, it didn’t.
This morning, Miller is having major back surgery (5:30 am pst) and it will last for several hours. He will be having a lumbar laminectomy with a spinal fusion. He has an exposed nerve that is causing numbness and now some hamstring weakening.
Bottom line, I want the Rubio Long Snapping family to pull together and help Gabe out through this ordeal. You can shoot him a message on Twitter at @GabeMiller_LS or even mail him a quick note at 2021 G Street, Lincoln, NE. 68510.
Gabe, and his family, need us all right now. Any of you that know Gabe, know he is always with a smile and I don’t want today, or the following weeks, to be any different.

Sending prayers…
I just wanted to give everyone an update and to thank you all so much for your prayers! I just flew home today, and my husband Doug his heading over to Nebraska to stay with Gabriel this week. Gabriel is doing really amazingly well! He only has to use his walker to stand up and then he is walking perfectly without it. The only thing he can do for the next 6 weeks is walk, so he will be doing a plenty of it. We are just so thankful for each one of you! Thank you for the encouragement and all of the uplifting comments! When your son becomes a Rubio longsnapper, you have joined a fabulous family! Blessings to you all!
Nothing but love and prayers for you and your family, Gabe.
Grateful for good outcome…. Will keep the boys in our prayers
Way to go Gabe! Stay strong.
