Congratulations to Event Elite Member: JC Everett!

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: 1st part of a store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar and if you were to go 570240 inches up but take away a letter

(A store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar is JC Penny because of “penny” First part is JC. Then, a place almost nine miles (570240 inches) high is Mt. Everest. Take away a consonant “S” and you have everett)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper JC Everett  (AR, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

JC is a terrific Long Snapper that is built like a brick house. He is strong and snaps the ball with incredible speed. He might have the quickest hands in his class. Great attitude and he does exactly what you tell him to do.

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Wyatt “Tucker” Smith!

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: Hemorrhoids would be an occupational hazard of this job minus a consonant and this character’s wife was a liar (so was he) w/ good balance.

(A trucker sits all day and, therefore can get hemorrhoids. So, take the “r” off trucker and you have TUCKER. Then, Angelina Jolie played Mrs. Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. One scene has her balancing on a chair cleaning drapes. She was an undercover agent and so was her husband. Bottom line, last name Smith.)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Tucker Smith (he also goes by Wyatt, but Tucker worked better for my clue) (MS, JC/14…originally a 2013 but since he is a JC he had the option of staying another year and he obviously took it) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

Tucker is headed to his second JC year and is an absolute phenomenal Long Snapper. Snaps well below .7 on a consistent basis and is built like a D1 athlete already. Keep a very close eye on him as he could get picked up at anytime since he is a qualifier out of high school.

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Seth Combs!

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: Someone with a sigmatism wouldn’t like his first name and if you think I do this in the morning, you have some issues.

(A sigmatism is another word for lisp and anyone with a lisp wouldn’t embrace saying the name Seth due to the TH ending and I would never comb my hair in the morning)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Seth Combs (IL, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

Seth is a tremendous Long Snapper with excellent form and athletic ability. The bigger he gets, the better he will be.

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Christian Samarzich!

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: German K/P w/ good amount of sun & pitcher/barman for the Sox + 2nd smallest planet + result of Toxicodendron radicans

(German K/P is Chris Sailer, who is beyond German, + a tan = Christian. Then, pitcher/barman for Sox was Sam Malone of the TV show Cheers + 2nd smallest planet is Mars + result of Toxicodendron radicans, which is poison ivy, would be itch….so Sam+Mars+Itch = Samarzich

Congratulations to Event Elite Member: Kyle Murphy!

Did you figure out the clues?

EVENT ELITE member: last name of an American hero with good aim & last name of WHERE a smooth, slightly chubby lefty used to hit the ball. (Chris Kyle is an American hero that is know for his ability as a sniper and Tony Gwynn played for the San Diego Padres and they used to play at Jack Murphy Stadium)

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Kyle Murphy (NC, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

The Long Snapping Instructors in Vegas

As you know, I choose a couple Rubio Long Snappers in college and the pros to help me out at my camps. Vegas is the biggest one and I always get the most requests from athletes wanting to help out. I am sure it has a bit to do with me and a lot to do with Vegas:)

My rationale for who gets to go is simple, you represent me well and you are chosen. Simple. I will check Twitter, Facebook and anything else I can view…if I see anything that does not represent who I am and what Rubio Long Snapping is all about, you will not get brought on staff.  My Long Snappers are among the best in the country, however a major factor for choosing my staff members is based upon their personality.

I just received this email from a parent and I had to share….

“Thanks for a great camp.  I know you are probably flooded with emails following the camp so I will try and make it brief.  I just wanted to share a story from the past weekend.  My son _____ was somewhat disappointed in his performance during the camp; he has been working his butt off preparing.  As we sat in the airport awaiting our plane my son was still in his Rubio Shirt.  Three of your instructors, kickers Matt Anderson (Sailer guy), Andrew Endicott (Sailer guy) and long snapper Nick Monaghan, still in their red shirts, saw him and immediately came over to him.  They immediately started asking him about the camp and long snapping, offering advice and encouragement.  They asked what his rank was and my son kind of mumbled the # under his breath; all three started laughing about their rankings when they started out.  They told him how the kids at the top in the beginning were not always the ones there in the end.  Andrew Endicott gave the best advice when he told Jack “this is a game of attrition, the ones that stick with it, work hard, hit the camps are the ones who finish the highest in the end.”  They further talked about staying out of trouble and keeping your grades up; utilizing real examples of kids they knew with a ton of talent, who blew it because of bad choices. 

I truly could not have scripted a better scenario for that time and place.  A nice hello would have been sufficient and made him feel good, but they stayed there talking to him for about twenty minutes.  I got the feeling they took immense pride in those red shirts and they felt that it was their turn to repay the mentorship that Rubio Long Snapping  / Chris Sailer Kicking staff had given them.  I flew home with one motivated kid ready to start preparing for his next camp and the upcoming season.  Thanks again for running a great program.”     

That email makes my heart full but it gets better. I forwarded it Rubio Long Snapper Nick Monaghan, one of the instructors in Vegas and here was his response….

“We did what the instructors before us did when we were campers.”

And the cycle continues….LOVE it and my heart is full.

Welcome to Rubio Long Snapping.

Thank you

Rubio Long Snapper Sam Boyd Commits to Trinity in San Antonio!

Rubio Long Snapper Sam Boyd (TX, ’13) has committed to Trinity in San Antonio!

Boyd is an agressive TOP 12 Long Snapper that snaps the ball extremely hard. He is built long and runs like the wind. He is extremely coachable and will do great things for the Tigers. Academically, Boyd is off the charts and has received academic scholarships!

Congratulations to Sam Boyd!

Highlight Videos Available Through Rubio Long Snapping

Rubio Long Snapping is happy to announce that Highlight Videos will now be available for purchase at Rubio Long Snapping Camps/Events.  The very first opportunity to purchase a professional quality highlight video will be this weekend at the 11th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas on May 4-5.  This is an incredible opportunity and will only be available to the first 30 Long Snappers, kickers or punters that reserve their video.  They are offering a discounted promotional rate of $100 for Vegas this year.  Here is how it will work:

1. You can preegister for this service by emailing info@varsitytape.com.  In the subject line type: “Vegas Video”.  The staff will get back to you with further instructions.

2. You can register for this service in Las Vegas.  However, if 30 others preegister, the service will no longer be available.  If you choose to take this route, you are taking a big risk.

A sample video (see below) was taken this past weekend at the 11th Annual National Snapping Preparation camp in Los Angeles.  This is a rough cut, so you can imagine how great the finished products will look.  If you choose to purchase a highlight video, the video will be yours to use as you see fit.  My recommendation: Email the video to coaches, add the video to your Rubio Long Snapping Player Ranking Profile, add the Video to your NCSA Player Profile and add it to your YouTube page.

You Never Know Who is Watching

This morning, I was sent a link by a Rubio Long Snapping parent with the title “Did you see this?”

Usually, when I get an email like that, I am bit nervous, to say the least, since something bad is coming on the other end of the link.

This was not the case on this particular email.

I clicked on the link and my heart begin to fill as I read about Rubio Long Snapper Ryan Eustace of Arkansas St.

The link sent me to an article from a fan that came across Eustace and described how he treated the author’s child (whom Eustace, I assume, just thought was a random kid).

Screen Shot 2013-05-01 at 6.56.00 AM

This article shows that you never know who is watching. Full embrace to Eustace. Well done!

 UPDATE: Eustace was put on scholarship on August 15, 2014 and I couldn’t be more proud of this great young man!

Rubio Long Snapper Mike Zupancic Earns Honor!

Rubio Long Snapper Mike Zupancic of Eastern Michigan has won the Special Team Awards MVP for his team!

That, in itself is impressive enough, being, and I hate to say it yet again, a Long Snapper, but what is really amazing is that this the SECOND time he has won the award for Eastern Michigan!

Look for Zupancic to be picked up as a free agent right after the draft. He has a terrific frame and snaps rockets. Zupancic snapped, on scholarship, all four years at Eastern Michigan.

Congratulations to Zupancic and don’t forget to embrace the plate of cookies he took as well. Well done!

Pre-Camp Diet, What to Eat?

Preparing for Long Snapping Camps is crucial in getting the most out of your experience. The right food intake can help you beat camp fatigue and get the most out of your time and financial investment.

What are the best foods to eat leading up to camp? A diet strong in carbohydrates will help your stamina and performance. Too many players focus on diets high in meats and they ingest too much fat. Fats can soak up your energy and can lead to indigestion and even cramps.

A solid diet to consider would consist of about 60% carbs, 15% protein and about 25% fats. You should begin to increase your intake of fluids. Drink 16 ounces of water when you awake and drink before, during, and after exercising. In practice you will probably need at least a liter of fluid per practice hour.

It is all about making good choices. Choose toast rather than a donut. Instead of a burger select grilled fish. Instead of greasy French fries have a baked potato. Almonds and other nuts can provide much more energy than chips. Look at food as fuel, not just as something that gives you pleasure.

Your diet is just one way to prepare for your upcoming Camp. You will also need to prepare physically and mentally. The proper fuel can help you do that.

Rubio Long Snapper Jeff Goyette Earns Honor at Bucknell!

Rubio Long Snapper Jeff Goyette of Bucknell was selected to be a Team Captain for the 2013 season!

Anyone being a team captain is great but, and I hate to say it, being a Long Snapper and being honored in that capacity is fantastic!

Goyette is a also a two time Special Teams MVP & Academic Honor Roll. Someone might say he is doing a phenomenal job in college….that someone is me!

Congratulations to Jeff Goyette!

Happy Ranksgiving to the Class of 2015 Long Snappers from the NC & GA Camps

The rankings are completed for the class of 2015 Long Snappers that participated in the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Nike Camp in NC & GA.

These rankings really moved around after these two camps. The 11th Annual National Spring Event on May 4-5 is going to be even more important.

KEY POINTS:

  • My rankings are NOT done just from the Target
  • My rankings are NOT done from some mathematical formula.
  • My rankings ARE done by me and only me. That is why I am at all my camps.
  • 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.

Rubio Long Snapper Scotty Thompson Receives Honor at NC State!

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Scott Thompson has been chosen to be put on NC State’s on Leadership Council!

This is obviously a huge honor for Scott and I am beyond proud of him. To paraphrase…

“The Leadership Council is a position of respect,” said first-year head coach Dave Doeren.  “It empowers these guys.  This position is not a recognition of athletic ability, but leadership ability. I will go to this group with decisions that I want player input on and if a player wants something brought to a coach they will go to the council and the council will bring it to us.  It gives them a voice.”

Scott has been with Rubio Long Snapping since his 8th grade year out in Southern California. He ended up a TOP 12er,  #2 in his graduating class, received a full scholarship to NC State and will be the starter for the third year in a row!

Congratulations once again to Scotty Thompson!
