2015 College Camps Run by Rubio Long Snapping

Rubio, Saban and SailerRubio Long Snapping will be in charge of several university led college camps across the country. These are camps that the universities put on and have us run. You will register through THEIR site. Here is the list, so far, as more will be added once the dates are finalized…

  • Alabama, June 6
  • Texas A&M, June 8
  • U.S.C. (Southern Cal), June 12
  • Oregon, June 13
  • Kansas, June 14 *
  • UCLA, June 18

These camps are a great opportunity to get top notch instruction, visit the school, meet it’s coaches and basically have an audition for the team.

What Coaches Will Ask a Recruit

Everyone always wants to know the key questions a coach will ask their son/daughter when they are getting recruited and the truth is, it’s the basics…

  • “So, what’s up?”
  • “How is school?”
  • “How is the weather?”
  • “How are your grades?”
  • “Would you be interested in coming to _____________ to get your degree and play some football?”

Right now, you are thinking “this is a joke, Rubio.” No, it is not. The coach is not looking to solve the world’s problems by speaking to your kid. He is simply trying to see if your kid is a moron or not.

Seriously.

They just want to hear the athlete speak, make sure he/she is not an idiot and someone that can operate on their own without mommy/daddy speaking for them.

So, you want to prep your kid? Just speak to them.

Rubio Long Snapper Aaron Brewer Gets New NFL Contract

Aaron Brewer

Brewer…..way back in the day

Former top ranked (class of 2008) Rubio Long Snapper Aaron Brewer has just signed a four year contract extension the Denver Broncos.

This will be Brewer’s fourth year with the team and he is expected to make $4 million dollars with a $740,000 signing bonus!

Brewer is also a member of the selection committee for The Chris Rubio Award choosing the top high school Long Snapper in the country.

Funny story is that when Brewer was a junior in high school, I remember speaking with his father after a lesson. It went something like this….

Rubio “Your kid is coming along very nicely Mr. Brewer”

Mr. Brewer “You really think so? We weren’t too sure about this. Not sure if this will work out for Aaron out of high school”

Rubio “Trust me. Brewer’s got it. He will definitely get a scholarship. No doubt in my mind”

Mr. Brewer “Seriously! Ok, whatever you say Rubio”

A couple months later, Brewer signed with San Diego State. Four years later, he signed with the Denver Broncos. Seven years later, he signs a four million dollar contract:)

5 Key Points for the Class of 2015 Long Snappers

  • You still have a long way to go with recruiting. Breathe, relax, take a chill pill. Read THIS ten more times. Laminate it. Memorize it. Breathe. Every single year, I will have a couple Long Snappers get picked up in August of their senior year. Yes, the August that is about 8 months from now. TONS will happen between the time you read this and August. Like I always tell everyone, this is probably your first time going through the recruitment of a Long Snapper…just think of how many times I have done it.
  • You should be attending every single Rubio Long Snapping camp this spring that is near you (yes, VEGAS XXVI as well)….just like normal. Those that take their foot off the gas because “they are committed” end up really struggling as they enter college. Trust me, I have seen it hundreds of times. Nothing will piss off a coach more than recruiting a kid and he isn’t VERY ready when he steps on campus.
  • In the summer, you should attend the Rubio Long Snapping College Camp for College Long Snappers to see how really compare to Long Snappers that are already in college. Welcome to the real world my friends.
  • Be someone to be followed and lead by example. Don’t be the guy that future Long Snappers ask “What ever happened to ________ and why didn’t he ever pan out?”
  • Be SMART and end your high school career strong. Be nice to everyone on the way out and be ready to move on.

PS….DO NOT EVEN THINK YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR MY STAFF UNTIL YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF IN COLLEGE. Until you arrive on your college campus, you should be busting your butt so you can dominate at the next level. Doing well in high school is one thing, doing well in college and in the NFL is a whole new ball game.

ASK RUBIO – Redshirting in High School? Best Looking on 90210? Potential NFL Long Snappers? Liking Sailer?

Dear Rubio…

1) What are your thoughts about holding back/red shirting a high school student athlete for the sole purposes of giving them an edge athletically against their peers? 2) Also I need your 90210 expertise to settle an argument, Valerie right? (Tiffani Amber Thiessen)
JustStartingOut

-JustStartingOut….
Kelly-Kapowski-Pictures
It would depend on when you hold the athlete back. If it is done sooner in life, I feel that is better. When you get into the high school years, it could really mess with their demeanor as they will be losing a lot of friends at that point. Bottom line, if you are going to do it, do it EARLY.

As for the 90210 question (great one by the way), I have to go with Valerie (Tiffany Amber Theissen). How could I not after her dominant performance as Kelly Kapowski on the hit TV show Saved by the Bell!??!?!? The lady was one of my first crushes (as I have a feeling I speak for millions of other men my age as well that grew up in the 80’s and 90’s)

Dear Rubio….

You have explained to us how you are able to recognized college long snappers out of high schoolers, but what do you see in college snappers to be potential NFL Long snappers? Also, how can a snapper adjust to be a more appealing prospect?
-BGSU Long Snapper

Christian Yount

–BGSU Long Snapper….
There are a couple differences between a college Long Snapper and an NFL Long Snapper: Size (NFL Long Snappers usually are right around the 240+ range), Accuracy (an NFL Long Snapper might not always be the fastest Long Snapper you have ever seen but they should RARELY, and I mean RARELY miss….think two out of 100) and Blocking. The last point, blocking, is a massive aspect that kills a lot of guys chances at the next level because they either never did it in college (thank you spread formation) and can’t get used to it quickly by the pro day. The speed jump from high school to college is quadrupled from college to the NFL. Not being able to keep up with that jump is what kills hopes and dreams of a college Long Snapper trying to make the NFL.

At the Rubio Long Snapping College as well as the NFL Free Agent Camp, we will work on blocking a ton to make sure each Long Snapper is a more appealing prospect.

Dear Rubio….

Sailer and Rubio at UCLADid you like Sailer when you guys played together at UCLA?
-WonderingMomma

-WonderingMomma….
Yes, I actually did BECAUSE he never acted like a “kicker” 🙂 He would get back, do his little step thingy and kick the ball. IF he missed, he would never blame me (not that he could, I was throwing pearls back there) and just go to the next kick. He had very much a lineman attitude and, ironically, used to always hang out with me and the lineman.

Rubio Long Snappers in The National Championship Game!

Haynes, BryceIt seems that every single year, there is a Rubio Long Snapper in The National Championship game and this year BOTH teams will have one!

To make it even more interesting, both will have a former #1 Rubio Long Snapper.

Bryce Haynes, The Ohio State Long Snapper, was my #1 for the class of 2011. He has been extremely dominant throughout his career at Ohio St. with his academics and athletics.

Carew, TannerTanner Carew, The Oregon Ducks Long Snapper, was my #1 for the class of 2014. He has started as a true freshman and already recorded several tackles. He was also an Army All-American last year.

Also on the Oregon Ducks, you will find Rubio Long Snappers Devin Melendez and Connor Johnson.

You know me, I am pulling for a tie game with a lot of punt snaps but I am betting that won’t be the case. I guess I will have to settle for several pat and field goal snaps.

Congratulations to these fine young men and their respective teams. May the best team win!

VEGAS EVENT - 2014VEGAS EVENTS

As you know, the Vegas Events are the biggest and best Long Snapping camps in the world. They are truly a national event to see how you compete against the best in the nation, and world. The May Event, or VEGAS XXVI, is the second largest Long Snapping camp we run (VEGAS XXV in January is the biggest). The main difference is the weather and there are less seniors since many have already stepped onto their college campuses for their next stage of their life.

The Vegas Events are NOT an invite only camp. They are first come, first served. Long Snappers ranging from 8th grade – JC are allowed to attend.

This is the SUPER BOWL for Long Snappers. No other kicking event comes close to the exposure offered by the National Snapping Events. Rubio Long Snapping is, by far, the most credible recruiting source for Long Snappers in the country. The “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” is the list to be on if you are seeking national exposure.

TOP GUN groupFBU CAMPS

For the second year in a row, Rubio Long Snapping and Chris Sailer Kicking will be teaming up with FBU to run their specialists portions of their camps. FBU is the world’s largest football training service and has hired us to handle their Long Snapping section. It is an honor and we are proud to do it again. It is a top notch organization that benefits countless athletes across the country.

This year, Rubio Long Snapping will be running more camps in order to hit more areas around the country. To be able to do this, I will only be at certain locations. The locations in italics are camps that I will personally be at this spring and summer. Those not in italics, will have two senior Rubio Long Snapping instructors in attendance (staff members that have been with me for well over 30 camps). They will follow the same format as myself and report directly to FBU and yours truly.

We will be choosing the two Long Snappers that will participate in the US ARMY ALL-AMERICAN BOWL at the FBU TOP GUN CAMP in Ohio on July 16-18. Chris Sailer Kicking will also be selecting the East Bay Youth All-American for the Class of 2019 (Freshman All-American Bowl) and 2020 (8th Grade All-American Bowl) at the FBU TOP GUN CAMP in Ohio on July 16-18. You MUST be invited to the TOP GUN camp by performing well at one of the regional camps prior to the TOP GUN Camp. Bottom line, you will have to do well at one of the camps, that the Chris Sailer Kicking staff  is in attendance at, to pick up an invite from myself and/or one of my senior instructors.

You will need a code to register for an FBU camp, and since you are a Rubio Long Snapper, you will have it right now: CR15. Use this code to register now for an FBU camp as they will sell out.

Christian YountNFL FREE AGENT CAMP

  • March 3, CA

You (the specialists) asked for it, you got it. They (NFL coaches) asked for it, they got it. As you know, Chris Sailer and myself have always run the biggest and best exposure camps for high school Long Snappers and kickers. Now it is time for us to move completely into the NFL realm to give the needed exposure to our college athletes.

Chris Sailer and myself have been asked COUNTLESS times to run a free agent camp since it is something that has been lacking for quite some time in the world of specialists. It is now time. This one day camp will be a showcase for NFL coaches. There will be little coaching (you shouldn’t need a ton if you are at this camp) as this camp will all be about exposure. NFL coaches and personnel will be on hand to personally see the Long Snappers in action.

In order to attend this camp, you must be out of college and be eligible for the NFL draft.

You can register for the NFL Free Agent camp HERE (spots will be limited)

Rubio, Saban and SailerCOLLEGE CAMPS

Rubio Long Snapping will be in charge of several university led college camps across the country. These are camps that the universities put on and have us run. You will register through THEIR site. Here is the list, so far, as more will be added once the dates are finalized…

  • Texas A&M, June 8
  • Oregon, June 13

  • LSU, July 19

TOP 12 & EVENT ELITE CAMP

This camp is open ONLY to those invited personally by Chris Rubio. You are chosen to attend this camp by performing extremely well at either the January or May National Snapping Events in Las Vegas. Do NOT sign up for this camp unless you have been formally invited by  Rubio. Former “TOP 12” and “EVENT ELITE” members includes countless college and NFL players, All-Americans, NFL Pro Bowlers and Super Bowl participants.

Top 12 and Event Elite - 2014Some Long Snapping “TOP 12” Alumni: Christian Yount (Cleveland Browns), Justin Drescher (New Orleans Saints), Aaron Brewer (Denver Broncos), Jon Weeks (Houston Texans) to name a few.

The “TOP 12” is chosen after the January Event (VEGAS XXV) and the “EVENT ELITE” is chosen after the spring Event (VEGAS XXVI). There are obviously 12 chosen for the “TOP 12” and there is no set number for the “EVENT ELITE”. Those that deserve it and are top of their class in May, get chosen…it could be one, it could be 20.

The success rate of those we have been selected in the past that go on to play college football (most on scholarship) is over 95%.

Invites go out after each Vegas Event.

  • June 15-17, CA

Underclassmen Invite Event - 2014UNDERCLASSMEN INVITE EVENT

You will almost think of this Event as a baby TOP 12 & EVENT ELITE Camp. This two day event is a camp that Rubio Long Snapping will be completely gearing towards the athletes and their parents/guardians. This camp is meant to not only get the athletes headed in the right direction in the beginning of their high school careers, but also the parents as well. It will provide information regarding nutrition, social media, recruiting, film, education and, of course, on field instruction. This event is just as much for the parents/guardians as it is the athletes!

College recruiting for Long Snappers is finally getting where it needs to be. Scholarships are being offered earlier and earlier each year. Early exposure is necessary these days. The Rubio Long Snapping Underclassmen “Invite Only” Event is the perfect opportunity to make a name for yourself and solidify your national ranking at the perfect time. The middle of the summer is now the time college coaches build their underclassmen lists. You want to be on that list. This camp will get you there. It is also your first opportunity to prove that you are a “TOP 12” candidate in your class. The camp is set for early July for a reason, college coaches asked us to do this. They want the inside track early. Don’t be surprised to see more and more underclassmen offered during the season in the near future.

There will be formal meetings/classroom sessions on individual topics such as: Training (what level is right for the underclassmen athlete, how often, proper techniques), Nutrition and Lifting (Good habits, bad habits), Social Media (Setting up and using the proper social media outlets – this has become a must), Filming (proper angles, techniques, times, set up), Education (the importance of it, standards, year by year plan)

Invites go out in May.

Rubio Long Snapper Owen Gilbert Picks Up Offer

Gilbert, OwenRubio Long Snapper Owen Gilbert (IN, ’15) has picked up a preferred walk-on offer from Indiana St!

He texted me that “…thank you for all the help you’ve given me over the past two years. I’ve been training hard and I’m looking forward to Vegas!” ARE YOU?

Owen did a great job at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in IL. Really like his power and how strong he is when he is snapping the ball. Needs to make sure he leans back, a lot, and definitely gets his hands releasing at the same point to get some solid accuracy on each and every snap. Right on the cusp of greatness. Can hit in the .6s when he is snapping the ball to the punter. Consistency will be huge for him at VEGAS XXV.

Congratulations to Owen and his family!

Rubio Long Snapper Andrew MacLean (Canada) Picks Up Offer

MacLean, Andrew copyLong time Rubio Long Snapper Andrew MacLean (Canada) has been offered full tuition by the University of Regina! This is considered an equivalent to a full ride in Canada!

Andrew has been to Lewiston, ID several times for lessons, IL for camps and the Vegas Events frequently over the past couple of years.

Congratulations to Andrew and his family!

Rubio Long Snapper Bobby Daggett Commits to Southern Miss!

Daggett, BobbyLong time Rubio Long Snapper Bobby Daggett (MS, JC) has committed to Southern Miss as a preferred walk-on!

Daggett did extremely well at the Rubio Long Snapping summer camp in GA. He is a thick, strong Long Snapper that can snap at D1 speeds right now. Love to see him push the ball a bit farther out in front of him to gain a bit more, yes, even more, speed. Moving out a bit will also eliminate the slight pick up he has when he is snapping. I believe that will smooth out the whole snapping motion and make him much more accurate with his punt snaps. Love his attitude. I would be shocked if he is not a 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper by VEGAS XXV

I am very proud of Daggett. He is a great Long Snapper and person that is always improving.

Congratulations to Daggett and his family!

Rubio Long Snapper Nixon Commits on Scholarship!

nixon, StevenRubio Long Snapper Steven Nixon (GA, ’15) has committed to Mercer on scholarship!

Nixon has been with Rubio Long Snapping since 2012 and has never stopped improving. He is a workhorse that is built thick and strong. Great attitude on this wonderful Long Snapper.

Loved getting the text from Nixon, “Thanks for everything Rubio. I wouldn’t be the snapper i am today without you. You have taught me everything from grip to stance to shakin hands and talking to a coach. All in all, the Rubio family has successfully captured the hearts of another family. Thanks for everything. Cant wait to talk you up to every other snapper i meet “

Congratulations to Nixon and his family!

SoloShot Will Be on Hand at VEGAS XXV!

SoloShotSoloShot will on hand at VEGAS XXV! Yesterday, I had a great meeting with them on the phone regarding fully implementing the “robot cameraman” into the Long Snappers regimen on Sunday during competition day. We both agreed it would be great to get some film of them when they are ….. nah, you are going to have to wait and find out:)

SoloShot was on hand at the Rubio Long Snapping Season Prep Camp in CA, New York in September and NC/GA in November and was very impressive.

What is SoloShot? Basically, the subject (whomever you want to film) wears a “tag” (size of a watch) and the SoloShot follows that person, non-stop, for as long as you want. It is kind of creepy, but in a good way and can be done from 2,000 feet away.

You use any video camera you want, you set it up on top of the SoloShot which is on a tripod. Boom. Done. A parent or coach can now actually see real life instead of always behind a small viewing screen.

If you have any questions, please contact james.carr@soloshot.com

Rubio Long Snapper George Madden Commits to Arkansas!

george-madden3298 (1)Long time Rubio Long Snapper George Madden (OK, ’15) has committed to the University of Arkansas as a preferred walk-on! He looks to replace Alan D’Appollino who was has also gone through Rubio Long Snapping camps

Madden continues to be one of the most dominant Long Snappers in the country. He passes the eye ball test as anyone in the country. Looks like a college linebacker let alone a Long Snapper. He snaps the ball hard and with great force. Moves well on his feet and has a fast, easy to catch ball. More consistency will move him up the charts. Great attitude.

Congratulations to Madden and his family!

Happy Ranksgiving to the 2017 Long Snappers from the TX Camp!

The rankings are completed for ALL 2017 Long Snappers that participated in the Rubio Long Snapping fall Camp in TX.

Long Snappers came in from PA, LA, NE, FL, KS, NV, CA, MD, OH, TN, OK, KY, AZ, MS and, of course, TX to learn from the best and get the most exposure possible for Long Snappers.

Next ranking opportunity will be at VEGAS XXV.

Pagel, Jake

Jake Pagel

The best 2017 Long Snapper at the camp was Jake Pagel. Pagel was very consistent all day. Don’t think I saw one bad snap from him in TX. Snap speed was solid and he needs to have a close kept on him.

. Pagel was smooth all day and one of the most consistent at the camp. Speed is good and he snaps a nice, accurate ball.

  • Jacob Rubenstein showed nice speed, good accuracy and excellent form. Definitely one to watch in 2015.
  • Jared Nugent is a strong Long Snapper that had very good explosion and a great attitude.
  • Chris Clore is a massive Long Snapper that is always improving. Good attitude and tons of upside.

Notables: Drew Wise, Jordan Silver, Reeves Blankenship, Caleb Cantrell,

KEY POINTS:

  • My rankings are NOT done just from The Rubio Target
  • My rankings are NOT done from some mathematical formula.
  • My rankings ARE done by me and only me. That is why they take a good amount of time. (Think of it this way, it takes MONTHS to build a Rolls Royce but only hours to build an average car)
  • My rankings are based off of this blog I wrote about what makes a Long Snapper great.
  • If you would like anything added to your profile page, simply email me (Rubio@RubioLongSnapping.com) the information and consider it done.
  • All Long Snappers are ranked after their first fall camp of their freshman year in high school.

A Long Snapper has the ability to adjust their ranking anytime I see them LIVE, not on video.

For the rankings section, simply go to RubioLongSnapping.com  rollover PLAYER RANKINGS, rollover which CLASS you are looking for, click that CLASS, click LONG SNAPPERS and find your name.

ASK RUBIO – Athleticism, Flexibility & Strength in the Off-Season AND Confidence vs Cockiness

Dear Rubio….

What are your recommendations for improving athleticism, flexibility, and strength during the off season, which is normally coupled with spring football workouts,
-Sincerely, don’t think just snap!

Dear Don’t Think Just Snap….
YOGA, YOGA, then more YOGA…make sure you are in the back row. You’ll thank me later.

________________________________________________________________

Dear Rubio….

You always say you love when you have an extremely confident long snapper and tell us all to show off our ranking and be very confident no matter who you’re up against and to be a good snapper you have to be very confident.  In snapping and in life where do you draw the line between self pride/confidence and cockiness?
– Puzzled Long Snapper

Puzzled Long Snapper….
It is a VERY, VERY fine line and you have to know what it is. It is actually for every person. I want my Long Snappers to be toeing that line and have the killer instinct of a shark. When you go head to head with another Long Snapper, you should almost feel bad for them since you know you are going to crush them. Confidence is backing what you say up without being an idiot about the whole thing. Cockiness is bragging about what you are doing while being an idiot about the whole thing.

Remember, if you would like to ASK RUBIO a question on any topic (honestly, it shouldn’t be on Long Snapping since you can find almost all questions answered on my blog and on RubioLongSnapping.com, just go ahead and send your question(s) to Rubio@RubioLongSnapping.com with the subject line: ASK RUBIO.Ask Rubio
